BACKGROUND A laryngocele is usually a cystic dilatation of the laryngeal saccule. The etiology behind its occurrence is still unclear, but congenital and acquired factors have been implicated in its development. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case of laryngocele occurring in a 77-year-old Caucasian woman. The patient presented with one month history of altered voice, no other associated ...

tuberculosis is a major health problem in iran and its laryngeal involvement is not uncommon. laryngeal tuberculosis is so infectious and delay in diagnosis and treatment could result spread of disease and causes divesting complications. we reviewed clinical and para-clinical characteristics of patients with laryngeal tuberculosis in iran. in a cross sectional study, patients with laryngeal tub...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are rare entities that arise from the cartilaginous structures of the larynx, including the cricoid, thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, and arytenoid cartilages. These tumors represent a minority of malignancies involving the larynx and can be mistaken for benign pathologies. The treatment has historically been surgical excision, often by total laryng...

INTRODUCTION Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a common condition in endurance athletes. Exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction (EIVCD) is a frequent confounder of EIB. The diagnosis of EIVCD may be challenging and can be missed as the problem is often intermittent and may only occur during intense exercise. Eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation (EVH) is the best test to detect EIB. ...

in crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. as well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. in orde...

The purpose of the current study was to explore whether the laryngeal dose can be reduced by using 2 intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques: whole-neck field IMRT technique (WF-IMRT) vs. junctioned IMRT (J-IMRT). The effect on planning target volumes (PTVs) coverage and laryngeal sparing was evaluated. WF-IMRT technique consisted of a single IMRT plan, including the primary tum...

Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a procedure that evaluates the integrity of the muscular and nervous systems of the larynx. This test is performed on patients who have evidence of a movement disorder of the vocal folds. The purpose of the LEMG is to help the physician diagnose and differentiate the causes of these movement disorders. There are several different types of problems that can r...

background handling of upper lateral cartilages (ulcs) is of prime importance in rhinoplasty. this study presents the experiences among 2500 cases of rhinoplasty in the past 10 years for managing of ulcs to minimize unwilling results of the shape and functional problems of the nose. methods all cases of rhinoplasties were done by the same surgeon from 2002 to 2013. management of ulcs changed fr...
