Excision of a congenital laryngeal cyst in a five-month-old dog via a lateral extraluminal approach.
Abstract
A large, soft, spherical mass was located between the left arytenoid and thyroid cartilages and axial to the left ceratohyoid bone, thus causing partial obstruction of the rima glottidis. Laryngoscopic examination, computed tomography (CT), and cytologic evaluation of aspirates performed before surg...

Abstract
Radiation to the head and neck is commonly used in the treatment of cancers. A side effect in some patients is the development of pharyngeal and or esophageal strictures. Hypopharyngeal strictures can resemble edematous larynges. If mistakenly so identified, tracheal tubes placed through these struc...

A laryngopyocele forms when a laryngocele, as a dilatation of the laryngeal ventricle, becomes infected and fills with mucopus. Laryngopyoceles are rare, as only few cases have been previously reported in the literature. The case of a 75-year-old woman who was treated twice because of a deep cervica...

Abstract
In all 32 patients, the average preoperative PTP was 0.51 +/- 0.23 kPa, and 6 weeks after surgery, it was 0.28 +/- 0.17 kPa; this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Individually, PTP decreased in 31 patients after surgery. PTP increased after surgery in only one patient, from 0.74...

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of cricoarytenoid joint fixation in case of rheumatoid arthritis is 17 to 33%. In later stages of rheumatoid arthritis, a gradual fixation of cricoarytenoid joint develops and both halves of the larynx become less movable which calls for endotracheal intubation; while tot...
