The incidence of subglottic stenosis in children has risen rapidly in the last 20 years as more advanced techniques enable younger preterm neonates to survive. There has been a similar rise in the number of different surgical methods devised to alleviate the stenosis; success has been claimed for each technique. The importance of normal laryngeal growth throughout an often protracted period of ...

The immediate and late complications of prolonged nasotracheal intubation in eightythree children are reviewed. Twenty-six of the thirty survivors were examined by laryngoscopy to determine the incidence of permanent laryngeal lesions. Seventeen had no lesion. Of the remaining nine, two had severe subglottic stenosis, four slight subglottic stenosis, and three minor degrees of scarring without ...

INTRODUCTION Laryngeal stenosis has various causes and treatment options. Endoscopic resection of the stenotic part with CO2 laser is one of the treatment options of laryngotracheal stenosis. Keels are useful for preventing adhesion formation, restenosis and web formation, which may happen during the later stage. They can be put in place either via the endoscopic approach or through a micro thy...

Two cases of severe mitral stenosis with both hoarseness, caused by left vocal cord palsy, and dysphagia are described. This combination in the same patient has not, to our knowledge, been previously described. Previous studies have firmly established that vocal cord paralysis in mitral stenosis is a result of compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve as it passes around the aortic arch...

Posterior glottic stenosis (PGS), of which the most common cause is tracheal intubation, often misdiagnosed as bilateral vocal cord paralysis. We herein report a case PGS that occurred after treatment with COVID-19 long-term intubation. The patient underwent tracheostomy and endoscopic resection showed improvement in dyspnea. epidemic expected to increase intubation cases severe laryngeal injur...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the outcome of a new endoscopic approach for the treatment of pediatric subglottic stenosis. STUDY DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary care center. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen pediatric cases of grade II to IV subglottic stenosis (8 congenital and 10 acquired) consecutively treated at our institutions by Endoscopic Anterior Cricoid Split (EACS) and balloon dilatio...

Objective: Cut throat injuries pose a great therapeutic challenge due to the multiple vital structures that are vulnerable in small, confined unprotected area. In this study, we describe site and depth of injury, etiology, management, prognosis. Methods: This was retrospective study 18 laryngotracheal trauma patients treated at department ENT MDM hospital between April 2017 January 2020. Result...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the prevalent age, pattern of presentation, histopathology type, and outcome of management of laryngeal carcinoma in our environment. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a 10-year retrospective study carried out at a teaching hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of patients managed for laryngeal carcinoma from January 1994 to December 2004 were reviewed. ...
