Paraganglioma of the larynx is a rare neoplasm which mostly arises from supraglottic area.  Herein, we report on a 45-year-old woman presented with supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.

We evaluated the performance of four currently available manikins: Airway Management Trainer (Ambu, UK), Airway Trainer (Laerdal, Norway), Airsim (Trucorp, Ireland), 'Bill 1' (VBM, Germany), with eight supraglottic airway devices: Airway Management Device, Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway, Combitube, i-Gel, Laryngeal Tube, Laryngeal Tube Disposable, Laryngeal Tube Suction II and Streamlined Liner of ...

OBJECTIVE Supraglottic laryngectomy is a surgical procedure that preserves laryngeal functions. This technique allows extensions including removal of tongue base or 1 arytenoid. We aimed to compare vocal results of supraglottic laryngectomy and extended procedures. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty-three males who underwent sup...

paraganglioma of the larynx is a rare neoplasm which mostly arises from supraglottic area.  herein, we report on a 45-year-old woman presented with supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.

S tenosis of the supraglottic larynx and pharynx is an uncommon and difficult condition to treat. The most common etiologies include iatrogenic injury from oropharyngeal and supraglottic surgery, radiation therapy, prolonged intubation, trauma, caustic ingestion, and inflammatory diseases. Presenting symptoms are a function of stenosis severity and can range from dysphagia and dysphonia to pote...

INTRODUCTION Training-induced cognitive bias may affect performance. Using a simulation-based emergency airway curriculum, we tested the hypothesis that curriculum design would induce bias and affect decision making. METHODS Twenty-three novice anesthesiology residents were randomized into 2 groups. The primary outcome measure was the initiation of supraglottic airway and cricothyroidotomy te...

amyloidosis of the upper aerodigestive tract is rare in the pediatric age group. we present two cases of pediatric laryngeal amyloidosis. both of them had hoarseness as the presenting symptom. diagnostic evaluation included flexible nasopharyngoscopy, rigid laryngoscopy, biopsy, computed tomography scan and laboratory tests. the results of congo red staining of the specimen were characteristic ...

BACKGROUND Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as a novel, safe, and feasible procedure for the resection of supraglottic laryngeal cancers. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the surgical technique for TORS supraglottic laryngectomy (SGL). METHODS A patient with a T2N0M0 laryngeal cancer limited to the supraglottic larynx was selected for TORS. RESULTS En bloc tumor rese...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinoma localized to different supraglottic subregions. METHODS Clinicopathologic data were reviewed retrospectively for 111 patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma who were diagnosed between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2005 and were initially treated with surgery. DNA fro...
