The Limitations of Laryngo-stroboscopy

Pediatric video laryngo-stroboscopy.

OBJECTIVE Laryngo-stroboscopy remains as the clinical gold standard for assessing properties of the glottal phonatory and valvular function. This includes deficits of closure as well as mucosal wave irregularities secondary to abnormal zones of pliability and symmetry. Per-oral stroboscopy has technical limitations in children due to the size of the telescope and issues of patient compliance. H...

Laryngo - pharyngeal Tuberculosis Summary

A new stroboscopy rating form.

A newly developed stroboscopy rating form is presented. The evolution of the new form is discussed by focusing on how problems with another commonly used form led to its development. Interjudge agreement and intrajudge reliability data for the new rating form reveal that the parameters of phase closure, phase symmetry, and phase regularity remain difficult to rate even with the revised rating f...

Laryngo-tracheo-oesophageal clefts

A laryngo-tracheo-esophageal cleft (LC) is a congenital malformation characterized by an abnormal, posterior, sagittal communication between the larynx and the pharynx, possibly extending downward between the trachea and the esophagus. The estimated annual incidence of LC is 1/10,000 to 1/20,000 live births, accounting for 0.2% to 1.5% of congenital malformations of the larynx. These incidence ...
