The etiology of vocal fold granuloma was identified : post-endotracheal intubation, vocal abuse, acid reflux and idiopathic. The identification of the cause or causal factor is important, since the treatment must be fundamental directed at them. Treatment have included voice therapy and antireflux measures. Surgical excision is considered in patients who do not respond to medical management. In this study, a case of vocal fold granuloma resolved who underwent injection of the affected vocal fold. Botulinum toxin type A is probably successful by decreasing the strength during adduction in the arytenoid region which, when very intense, would perpetuate the granuloma. Localized injection of this neurotoxin is promising both as an initial treatment and as an alternative treatment in patients who do not respond to standard therapy.

Vocal fold injections are usually performed with a patient wake in an office under local anesthesia. For comfortable and safe office-based procedures, thorough anesthesia and premedication should be provided to the following three regions; nasal cavity, oropharynx, and larynx. Topical lidocaine is most widely used anesthetics on office based procedure. Lidocaine has a low to intermediate potency, 45 minutes to 60 minutes' duration of action, and onset of sufficient anesthesia within 90 seconds of topical administration. Tetracaine, prilocaine, ropivacaine, and bupivacaine also have been used in the office-based procedures. Nasal decongestant, oxymetazoline, is also used for widening nasal cavity by constriction of nasal mucosa. The amount of topical and local anesthetics used in vocal fold injection rarely exceeds toxic doses. The physician should know proper anesthesia techniques and must be familiar with the safe dose and complication of all anesthetics used.

Background and Objectives : The effect of palliative injection laryngoplasty in cancer-related unilateral vocal cord paralysis patients on voice and swallowing function is uncertain and there are few previous studies of its suitability, benefits as a palliative treatment option. The purpose of this study is to confirm the objective results of voice and swallowing function after palliative office-based hyaluronic acid injection laryngoplasty in cancer-related unilateral vocal cord paralysis patients. Materials and Method : 36 patients who had unilateral vocal cord paralysis from non-thyroidal, extralaryngeal neoplasms were included in this study. To evaluate the clinical outcome, we analyzed perceptual GRBAS grading, acoustic analysis, aerodynamic study, Electroglottography (EGG), Voice Handicap Index (VHI-30) about voice function and disability rating scale (DRS), gastric tube dependency, aspiration pneumonia about swallowing function and 36-Item Short Form Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) about quality of life. Results : In GRBAS scale, G (p<0.001), R (p=0.004), B (p=0.001), A (p=0.011), and S (p=0.007) showed significant improvement. Jitter, shimmer, speaking fundamental frequency, maximal phonation time, VHI-30, DRS score, gastric tube dependency, aspiration pneumonia, and SF-36v2 were significantly improved after injection (p=0.016, p=0.011, p=0.045, p=0.005, p<0.001, p<0.001 p=0.003, p<0.001, and p<0.001 respectively). Conclusion : From this study we concluded office-based hyaluronic acid injection can be used as a useful palliative treatment option in cancer-related ill patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis. Palliative hyaluronic acid injection laryngoplasty avoids the need for tube feeding, thus reducing the risk of aspiration pneumonia. These outcomes are accompanied by significant improvement in voice quality.

When a person was suffered from vocal cord paralysis or glottic insufficiency, injection materials (e.g Teflon, Bovine collagen, Autologous fat & tendon, Gelfoam) into the vocal cord have been widely used. But each injection material has some disadvantage. We introduce the Restylane which is composed of a hyaluronic acid, artificially producted. It has advantage of rate foreign body reaction, proper endurance, easy to injection. The patient was 55-year-old woman who showed left vacal cord paralysis after pneumonectomy due to aspergillosis, taken the type I thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction. The middle portion of left vocal cord has some atropic mucosal change, slight chink was noted. The restylane injection into vocal cord was done with suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia. In the 3 month follow-up after Restylane injection, the quality of voice has been better progressively. We report a case of Restylane injection as a new method for the improvement of quality of voice.

제1형 고셔병(Gaucher disease type 1)은 리소좀 효소인 산성 ${\beta}$-글루코시다아제(acid ${\beta}-glucosidase$)의 결핍으로 인한 리소솜 축적 질환이다. 효소 활성도가 감소되어 기질이 축적되어, 간비종대, 빈혈, 혈소판감소증 및 골질환을 포함한 전신 증상이 발생한다. 재조합 효소 단백을 정맥 주입하는 효소 대체요법(Enzyme replacement therapy)는 지난 20년 넘게 고셔병의 표준 치료법이었다. 그러나 성공적인 효소 대체요법에도 불구하고, 심각한 폐증상과 골격 증상 등 고셔병 치료에 여전히 해결되지 않는 문제들이 남아 있다. 기질 감소 치료(Substrate reduction therapy)는 기질의 생합성을 억제하여 축적을 감소시킨다. 최근 새로운 경구용 기질감소 치료제인 엘리글루스타트(eliglustat)가 적합한 CYP2D6 대사 표현형을 가진 고셔병 성인 환자를 위한 1차 치료제로 미국과 유럽에서 승인되었다. 엘리글루스타트가 아직 한국에서는 쓰이지 않고 있지만, 본 종설에서는 문헌 검토를 통해 고셔병의 새로운 치료로서의 효소 대체요법을 소개하고자 한다. 아직 확고한 결론을 도출하기에는 연구 결과가 제한적이기는 하지만, 현재까지의 데이터에 따르면 엘리글루스타트는 임상 효능에 있어서 효소 보충 요법에 비열등성을 보인다. 장기 결과에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하지만, 엘리글루스타트의 승인은 해당 1형 고셔병 성인 환자들에게 경구 치료제라는 새로운 선택을 가능하게 하였다. 향후 국내에서 엘리글루스타트가 처방 가능해 지면, 각 환자 마다 철저한 평가를 통해 치료법을 선택할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다. 나아가, 국내 1형 고셔병 환자들을 위해 엘리글루스타트의 사용에 관한 임상적 지침 또한 조만간 개발될 필요가 있다.

The office-based, un-sedated vocal fold injection laryngoplasty has re-emerged in the past decade as an appealing alternative to microsuspension laryngoscopic procedure which is conducted under general anesthesia. The trend toward vocal fold injection laryngoplasty in an in-office setting was possible due to technological evolution for visualization and new injection materials. However, invisibility of the injection needle has been the main shortcomings of cricothyroid approach. The purpose of this review is to provide an up-to-date review of office-based, trans-cricothyroid membrane approach injection laryngoplasty technique under local anesthesia and efforts made to increase the preciseness of amount and location of the injected materials in the management of glottic insufficiency. A review of variable efforts undertaken to maximize the result of cricothyroid approach by technically increasing accuracy of the location of needle tip was done. With the proper patient selection and utilization of the new technologies, office-based and un-sedated vocal fold injection laryngoplasty via cricothyroid approach can be redeem as a main-stay in the management of glottic insufficiency, such as vocal fold paralysis, vocal fold paresis, vocal fold atrophy and vocal fold scar.

Background and Objectives : Temporary or permanent vocal paralysis can be occurred after head and neck surgery such as thyroid cancer, esophageal resection, and chest operation including lung parenchymal resection, due to a vagus or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. The authors aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of using Calcium-Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) for permanent unilateral vocal cord palsy patients. Materials and Method : Between July 2008 to July 2010, among patients with chief complain of hoarseness and aspiration, only who were diagnosed as unilateral vocal cord palsy under laryngoscopy, were selected. The patients included 3 females and 13 males age range between 29 to 79 and average age was 60 years old. Results : The hoarseness range were $8.94{\pm}0.77$, $4.63{\pm}1.02$, $4.31{\pm}1.30$ statistically showing significant postoperative improve at preoperative, 1 week and 3 months. Also aspiration were $7.44{\pm}2.48$, $3.63{\pm}1.82$, $3.19{\pm}1.91$ statistically improved during the same period. The result of voice analysis showed that the frequency range shows decrease at 1 week and 3 months after the injection compared to that of the preoperative result in both male and female group (Male: $161.63{\pm}32.78$ Hz, $139.13{\pm}30.63$ Hz, $146.67{\pm}34.20$ Hz ; Female: $244.62{\pm}26.62$ Hz, $244.91{\pm}42.03$ Hz, $237.50{\pm}38.95$ Hz). The Maximal phonation time were $2.75{\pm}1.06$ (sec), $8.88{\pm}3.46$ (sec), $8.44{\pm}3.71$ (sec) statistically showing significant postoperative improve at preoperative, 1 week and 3 months. Conclusion : Injection laryngoplasty with CaHA in unilateral vocal cord paralysis is very safe and efficient procedure to improve a voice disorder, a swallowing difficulty, and a quality of life for those patients with a sacrificed RLN, a cancer invasion of the nerve, and a prolonged vocal cord paralysis which is more than six to twelve months.
