Cricoid malformation and endolaryngeal submucosal drilling – a possible technique

چکیده
Cricoid malformations vary according to their severity and anatomic features. Some of them get a delayed diagnosis in spite of the complex medical care. Objective: To present a case with a laryngeal malformation and our surgery technique. Material, method: A case presentation of a cannulated child, who previously had a heart surgery, with difficult decannulation. RESULTS The patient was considered to have an acquired subglottic stenosis due to his medical record. A cricoid cartilage malformation was elicited intraoperatively. A submucosal drilling of the redundant cartilage, with a preservation of the covering laryngeal mucosa was performed. Decannulation was possible at 13 days after surgery. Conclusion: Instead of having extensive resection surgery we decided to perform an endolaryngeal submucosal drilling, after laryngofissure, with quick and long lasting success. Laryngeal surgery should always be tailored to the patient needs and the surgeon's preferences.

Normal laryngeal CT findings after supracricoid partial laryngectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Supracricoid horizontal partial laryngectomy (SCPL) is increasingly used to treat endolaryngeal carcinoma. However, few radiologic reports of these procedures exist. Our purpose was to evaluate the normal CT appearance of the neolarynx after surgery. METHODS SCPL includes cricohyoidopexy (CHP), cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP), and tracheocricohyoidoepiglottopexy (TCHEP)...

BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis of endolaryngeal mesenchymal neoplasms includes a wide spectrum of benign and malignant pathologies, which have been rarely photo-documented and assessed as a group. METHODS Non-epithelial neoplasms of the endolarynx seen at our centre from 2002 to 2011 (n = 38; 36 treated at our institution) were retrospectively reviewed, with attention to clinical prese...

Investigations of wound healing of the cricoid cartilage, its epithelium and subepithelial layer were performed in an experimental model. Each experiment comprised 10 young rabbits at the age of 4 weeks with a standard follow-up period of 20 weeks (to adulthood). Endolaryngeal lesions could be restricted to the soft tissue lining (epithelium + subepithelial layer), or they could also involve th...
