Reinke’s oedema of vocal cords’- Anaesthetic Considerations

The “M” shaped microflap for treatment of complex Reinke’s Space Oedema of the vocal cords

Reinke's Space Oedema is characterized by a subepithelial collection of fluid and pseudo-myxomatous tissue within the lamina propria superficialis of the vocal cord. We have observed, in a number of cases, the phenomenon of bilobular and/or centrally located Reinke's Space Oedema. Bilobular oedema occurs when the sub-epithelial oedema is organised as a double bulge of the vocal cord in the supe...

Foreign Body Stocked between Vocal Cords

Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a rare event in adults and can mimic other pathologies such as refractory asthma. Most of the objects can be removed using a bronchoscope. Herein, we present a unique case of aspiration of a FB stocked between vocal cords for one week and the anesthetic considerations.

Pulmonary oedema: physiological considerations.

In this paper I propose to attempt to evaluate our knowledge of the mechanisms of acute pulmonary oedema in experimental animals, and to enquire how far it can be applied to our understanding of the phenomenon in man. Our knowledge of the mechanisms of lung oedema is extremely meagre; yet in some respects it may be integrated, with advantage to future investigations. The first issue which shoul...

Pregnancy induced hypertension--anaesthetic considerations.

Anaesthetic considerations for interventional neuroradiology.

In the past decade, the neuroradiological diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases has undergone significant advances. With the introduction of varying diagnostic and interventional neuroradiological techniques and advances in the materials used for endovascular treatment, increasingly complex diagnostic and therapeutic neuroradiological procedures are being performed on extremely si...
