Endoscopic laser surgery is a novel treatment modality for laryngeal cancer. CO2 laser combined with an operating microscope is the most frequently used instrumentation. In Finland we started large-scale laser surgery in 1994 in all five university hospitals, covering a population of about five
The most common adverse event after cervical mediastinoscopy is recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, which has an incidence of 0.6% [1]. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who experienced transient bilateral vocal cord paralysis after mediastinoscopy,
A 59-year-old man had explosive watery diarrhoea, tendency towards collapse, flushes and aphonia. Pre-operative serum concentrations of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were up to 1030 ng/l, those of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) up to 2675 ng/l, as measured by radioimmunoassay.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon neoplasm most frequently seen in the abdomino-pelvic region and lungs of children and young adults. Laryngeal tumors are rare. We present a case of a 23-year-old patient with a 5 month history of laryngitis and aphonia unresolved by
Laryngeal abnormalities following definitive irradiation for carcinoma of the larynx are common. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for persistent cancer in such patients who were found to have abnormal larynges following definitive irradiation. A retrospective evaluation of
BACKGROUND
This cross-sectional study objects to measure, subjectively and objectively, the voice and life quality of patients with oral cavity, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, after organ-preservation treatment.
METHODS
25 cases diagnosed and treated at a high complexity oncology center in
BACKGROUND
Refusal of treatment for childhood cancer engenders much discussion. No systematic study of this phenomenon exists in countries where access to treatment is readily available.
OBJECTIVE
To identify and describe all published cases of treatment refusal for childhood cancer in the
Supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) is an organ-preserving surgical technique intended to achieve oncologic control of laryngeal cancer while maintaining laryngeal functions. Most patients who undergo SCPL achieve a serviceable voice. However, several factors can affect the function of the
Transoral laser surgery today is the mainstay of treatment for T1 and T2 glottic carcinoma. The vocal ability remains sufficient in the majority of patients. However, in some cases, a significant glottic gap may persist, leading to poor voice quality. We report a special technique of medialization
BACKGROUND
Arytenoid hypertelorism (arytenoid cartilages spaced too widely apart) appears to be the most common initial recognizable physical finding of cricoid chondrosarcoma. Nine cases from the Center for Voice Disorders are presented. With arytenoid hypertelorism caused by cricoid
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to present a new approach for the diagnosis and treatment of chondrosarcoma involving the cricoid cartilage. The technique involved an extramucosal resection of the ipsilateral half of the involved cricoid cartilage, providing enough tissue to be sent for pathological
Preservation of respiration, deglutition, and phonation, as well as tumor ablation, is the objective of conservation surgery of the larynx. Immediate reconstruction may fail, leading to aspiration and aphonia. Five extralaryngeal techniques for correction of late glottic insufficiency are described.
The purpose of this article is to describe an approach to reconstruction of the larynx after vertical partial laryngectomy with removal of the ipsilateral arytenoid cartilage. This method addresses the problem of postoperative posterior glottal incompetence (aphonia with or without aspiration). The
Perineurioma is a rare, benign tumour of the perineurium, which develops mostly on the nerves of the extremities. The neoplasm related to a genetic mutation on the 22nd chromosome, is a rarity on the vagal nerve branches. Authors report the case of a 15-year-old female with an immunhistochemically
