Several reports have investigated airway obstruction caused by redundancy of arytenoid mucosa. Flexible laryngoscope examination revealed prolapse of the mucosa overlying the arytenoid. Usually, pharyngeal or laryngeal microscopic procedures can successfully treat the redundancy of arytenoid mucosa. We experienced two cases of airway obstruction caused by redundancy of artenoid mucosa and report it with review of literatures.

Hemangioma is one of the most common benign neoplasm, which occurs about 50% in head and neck region, but laryngeal hemangioma is relatively rare. Hemangioma occurred in larynx can be treated by surgical removal, cryosurgery, and steroid injection. Transoral CO2 laser micorsurgery has been known as useful method for the treatment of laryngeal hemangioma. We have experienced a 54-years old male patient of hemangioma originated in arytenoid area. This mass was removed via transoral approach with 'en bloc' resection by CO2 laser. We report this case regarding the treatment and prognosis of laryngeal hemangioma with review of literatures.
