OBJECTIVE
To assess the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the laryngoscopic signs of reflux laryngitis.
METHODS
Using original quantitative evaluation system, the laryngoscopic signs of 108 patients with reflux laryngitis and 90 healthy people were subjected to comparative analysis in this
Chronic laryngitis typically produces symptoms of frequent throat-clearing, soreness, decreased voice quality with use, nonproductive cough, globus sensation, and odynophagia. The endoscopic laryngeal examination usually demonstrates posterior glottic edema, erythema, and increased vascularity and
OBJECTIVE
Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physicians often diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-related laryngitis on the basis of symptoms and laryngeal signs; and may refer patients to gastroenterologists who contend that many such patients do not have reflux. Because of this dichotomy we
An 82-year-old supplemental oxygen dependent woman with severe COPD presented with an eight month history of worsening hoarseness and stridor. Office laryngoscopy revealed laryngeal edema and ulcerative masses throughout the larynx. In-office biopsies were positive for Cryptococcus neoformans. This
Introduction The indirect laryngoscopy has an important role in the characterization of reflux laryngitis. Although many findings are nonspecific, some strongly suggest that the inflammation is the cause of reflux. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between reflux
This paper describes different tools to rule out the etiology of vocal fold edema. A complete voice assessment is used in our Voice Center. This includes patient history, acoustic analysis, laryngeal video-stroboscopy, otolaryngology consultation, allergy testing from our Allergy Clinic, and
Three types of acute obstructive laryngitis in children are distinguished: 1. Acute supraglottic laryngitis (Epiglottitis acuta): The usual causative organism is Hemophilus influenzae, type B. Characteristic findings include a swollen red epiglottis. Treatment is based on Ampicillin, Solucortef
We report the case of a 6-month-old child who developed acute pulmonary edema because of laryngeal spasm during orthopedic manipulations for congenital hip dysplasia. Laryngospasm was probably secondary to an unsuspected light level of anesthesia, maintained via face mask. No other predisposing

OBJECTIVE
To develop and characterize a new model of laryngeal inflammation by analyzing the presence of neurogenic peptides and expression of cyclooxygenases (COX) and cytokines in the mucosa.
METHODS
Laryngitis induced by nasogastric intubation (NGI) was evaluated by histopathologic changes of the
BACKGROUND
Although upper respiratory symptoms have been reported to occur in welders, occupational laryngitis of immediate hypersensitivity type due to welding fumes of stainless steel has not been previously reported.
METHODS
Occupational laryngitis was diagnosed based on the specific challenge
In the pathogenetic evaluation of acute subglottic laryngitis (ASL) the anatomy of the child's larynx should be taken into consideration: its absolute size need not necessarily be smaller than that of the adult, but its relative size with respect to the developmental stage of other organs, is. The
Activated charcoal is useful in the management of poisonings, but it is not harmless. We report the case of a patient who developed obstructive laryngitis secondary to aspiration of activated charcoal with a protected airway.
