Stenosis of the larynx is more frequent than tracheal stenosis; in a review of 752 cases of stridor seen at The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, laryngeal pathology accounted for 88% of the cases (Evans, 1986). The major cause of airway obstruction was as a result of congenital anomalies of the larynx and trachea. Holinger (1980) noted in his review of 219 patients with ...

Laryngotracheal invasion worsens the prognosis of thyroid cancer and the surgical approach for laryngotracheal invasion is controversial. In this paper, partial full-thickness excision of the cricoid cartilage with supracricoid laryngectomy and reconstruction of existing defect with thyroid cartilage are explained in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma invading the thyroid cartilage and ...

Introduction. The nonsquamous carcinomas of the larynx are considered rare with the majority of malignant tumors in this area, reaching the rate of 95%, to be squamous cell neoplasms. Case Report. The case refers to a 53-year-old man that presented with symptomatology of motor nerve disease. During the evaluation of the neurologic disease, a subglottic mass of the larynx was revealed accidental...

Echolocating bats have adaptations of the larynx such as hypertrophied intrinsic musculature and calcified or ossified cartilages to support sonar emission. We examined growth and development of the larynx relative to developing flight ability in Jamaican fruit bats to assess how changes in sonar production are coordinated with the onset of flight during ontogeny as a window for understanding t...

Larynx cancer is the second most common type of cancer among all head and neck cancers. Deregulation of epigenetic effectors, including altered expression of histone methyltransferases from the MLL (mixed lineage leukemia) family, have been reported in many cancer types, yet little is known concerning their involvement in larynx cancer. Our objective was to determine the expression profile of M...
