BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of intraoperative neuromonitoring in reducing the postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy rate by a comparison between patients submitted to thyroidectomy with intraoperative neuromonitoring and with routine identification alone. METHODS Between June 2007 and December 2012, 2034 consecutive patients underwent thyroidectomy by ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa laryngocele is an air-filled, abnormal dilation of the laryngeal saccule that extends upward within the false vocal fold, in communication with the laryngeal lumen. a case of 43-year-old male with bilateral internal laryngoceles, who has been treated as asthma for 4 years, is presented. the patient had dyspnea, cough, and excessive phlegm for a mont...

Introduction: Laryngeal dysfunction may be divided into three categories; organic, neurologic and functional disorders. Dysphonia and hoarseness are the most common symptoms and, in some cases, the only signs of laryngeal dysfunction. In differential diagnosis of any type of chronic hoarseness, a neoplastic process must be considered and, thus continuous light video laryngoscopy can provide imp...

The most common malignant neoplasm of the head and neck region is laryngeal cancerwhich presents a significant international health problem. The present study aims to screenpotential proteins related to laryngeal cancer by network analysis to further understandingdisease pathogenesis and biomarker discovery. Differentially expressed proteins were extractedfrom literatures of laryngeal cancer th...

Introduction: Sentinel node mapping has been used for laryngeal carcinoma in several studies, with excellent results thus far.In the current study, we report our preliminary results on sentinel node mapping in laryngeal carcinoma using intra-operative peri-tumoral injection of a radiotracer.   Materials and Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were included...

Superior laryngeal artery (SLA) is one of the main branches of the superior thyroid artery that its main function is to supply blood to the larynx. This artery is accompanied by the internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve; this relation has anatomical and surgical significance. In this paper, a case of anomalous origin of the superior laryngeal artery is reported. Abnormal origin of SLA fro...
