본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환에서 구해진 파라미터와 신경회로망을 이용하여 후두의 양성종양과 정상상태를 구분하는 실험을 행하였다. 식별 파라미터로는 웨이브렛변환으로부터 도출된 ECS 파라미터와 jitter, shimmer를 이용하였으며 신경회로망은 한 개의 은닉층을 갖는 다층구조 신경망을 이용하였다. 신경망의 입력으로는 세가지 파라미터의 조합을 두 개 또는 세 개를 입력하여 각각의 경우의 식별율을 조사하였다. 실험결과 75%에서 93%에 이르는 식별율을 얻었다.

When illustrating the therapeutical plan of laryngeal cancer, there are difficulties in obtaining the three dimensional volume of tumor, submucosal extension of tumor, and particularly whether or not invasion on laryngeal cartilage has occurred. In particular clinical significance is the invasion to the laryngeal framework, which correlates with poor prognosis due to high frequency of local recurrence and cervical metastasis. Therefore the purposes of histopathological evaluation according to serial section study after laryngectomy are firstly, apprehension of the spread of laryngeal cancer and the pattern of invasion to laryngeal cartilage and secondly, obtaining an aid to establish direction of management to make higher the validity of preoperative clinical diagnosis. The following results were obtained : 1. The pattern of tumor invasion in cartilage 1) The tumor invades ossified cartilage chiefly and invades nonossified cartilage in extensive lesion only. 2) The tumor spread through intramarrow space at invaded ossified cartilage with intact perichondrium. 3) The perichondrium is strong barrier. 2. The incidence of cartilage invasion in order of frequency is as follow thyroid, arytenoid, cricoid, epiglottic cartilage. 3. The transglottic cancer has higher incidence(811.8%)of cartilage invasion. 4. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rate of preoperative CT scan was 100%, 62.5%, 82.3% respectively.

Cri-du-chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder in which the patient presents with a characteristic high-pitched monotonous cry and recurrent aspiration pneumonia, attributed to abnormalities in the larynx, epiglottis, and nervous system. The most prominent brain MRI findings are the presence of pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, which primarily involve posterior cranial fossa structures. Although atrophy of supratentorial structures were also a common radiological finding, it was considered to be a secondary change due to pontine hypoplasia. Here, we present the case of a three-month-old patient presenting with cri-du-chat at our institution. The patient also showed the presence of prominent pontine hypoplasia similar to previously reported cases; however, contrary to other cases, there was a general delayed myelination of brain instead of decreased myelination of anterior limb of internal capsule. Since the larynx, pons, and cerebellum all originated from similar notochord level, which suggests anomaly in early stage of development, laryngeal, and brain anomaly characteristically observed in the cridu-chat syndrome.

음성이 성대진동에 의해서 생성된다는 것이 밝혀진 이래로 이것을 확인해 보기 위한 많은 노력이 있어왔다. 특히 성대의 빠른 진동을 느린 움직임으로 정확하게 관찰하기 위해서 후두스트로보스코프같은 기구가 사용되고 있지만, 이것은 실제 시간에 따른 성대움직임을 보는 것이 아니고, 또 불규칙한 진동이 나타날 경우에는 성대점막의 움직임을 관찰하는 것이 불가능한 단점이 있었다. 저자들은 초 당 8000 개의 연속된 영상을 기록할 수 있는 videokymography를 이용하여 성대점막의 실제 시간에 따른 움직임을 관찰해보고, 후두질환에서 나타나는 영상을 확인해 보기 위하여 본 연구를 시작하였다.

An anterior glottic web can be congenital or develop as a result of trauma. The congenital webs indicate failure of normal separation of the two vocal cord primordia and the cicatrical membrane caused by accidental and operative trauma. When the web is small it rarely produces significant sympto-matology but larger webs may produce stridor as well as hoaresness in various degrees. Achievement of epithelialization of the anterior commisure after excision of a web, thus preventing adhesions from forming between the denuded vocal cords, is the principle underlying the surgical treatment of anterior glottic webs. Recently the authors experienced a case of anterior glottic web which occured in a 23 year old man after repeat removal of a papilloma several times in child-hood. The patient received treatment of a web excision followed by placement of a gold keel between the cords in the anterior glottis.

Acute epiglottitis is one of the common conditions of upper airway obstructions in children. The clinical course is not only fulminant but possibly fatal, resulting from massive swelling of supraglottic structures especially epiglottis caused by Hemophilus influenzae. This is so because early recognition and careful airway management is always desired. Numerous reports in the literature reveals that a majority of cases occurs mainly in young children under six years of age, however, recent reports of acute epiglottitis in adult is increasing. We present a series of acute epiglottitis in adult and a review of the literature. We also discuss the differences between acute epiglottitis in adult and in children in terms of clinical course, causative organism, management and the results of treatment.

Acute epiglottitis is a life threatening inflammatory. disease of the upper airway mainly in children, however, the recent reports about acute epiglottitis in adults are increasing. The common symptoms are sore throat, dysphagia, dyspnea and salivary drooling. As the laryngeal edema progresses, the patient sits up, leans forward, with the chin thrust forward, having obvious difficulty breathing. Early recognition and proper airway maintenance until the inflammatory edema subsides are essential steps to avoid a possible life threatening upper airway obstruction. We experienced two cases of acute epiglottitis with sitting up position, chin thrust forward, having dyspnea.

Swallowing impairment is a frequent complication following stroke. The characteristics of swallowing impairment with stork patient can facilitate identification of individuals at risk of dysphagia would be of great helpful. The present study examined oropharyngeal swallowing impairment with subacute stroke patients using the Modified Barium Swallowing Impairment Profile(MBSImP). The 49 consecutive patients with the supratentorial stroke met inclusion criteria for the present study. A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent the videofluoroscopic swallowing study(VFSS). Of Stroke patients, 95.9% exhibited abnormal function of lip closure. 98% and 57.1 % shown abnormal tongue function and lingual motion, respectively. Oral residue was present in 51% and delayed pharyngeal response was present in 89.9%. In addition, abnormal laryngeal and hyoid excursion was seen in 42.9% and 87.8%, respectively. Abnormal function of soft palate elevation was present in 18.4% and abnormal epiglottic movement was seen in 4.1%. 30.6% of 30.6% of these patients exhibited abnormal laryngeal closure. All of the stroke patients(100%) in this study exhibited abnormal pharyngeal stripping wave and pharyngoesophageal segment opening. Abnormal tongue base retraction and oral reside were present 91.8%, respectively. The results suggest that stroke patient is more likely to exhibit reduced swallowing functions including lip closure, tongue control, initiation of pharyngeal swallow, anterior hyoid motion, tongue base retraction, pharyngeal residue and pharyngoesophageal contraction. Therefore, these data could provide valid and precise information regarding physiological evidence to delineate symptoms of dysphagia in this stroke cohort. Future studies should explore the bolus effect in the swallowing impairment.

후두전적출술은 상부 소화관의 연속성을 변형시킴으로써, 식도운동의 장애를 가져올 수 있으며, 술 후에 연하곤란을 호소하는 경우는 10% 가량 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 식도내압검사를 통하여, 후두전적출술이 상부식도괄약근의 휴지기와 최대 압력에 어떠한 변화를 주는가 및 술 후 인두와 상부식도괄약근의 조화성 여부와, 만일 상부식도괄약근의 기능에 변화가 생긴다면, 그 영향이 식도체부 및 하부식도괄약근의 운동성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보기 위함이다. 식도내압검사는 8개의 내관을 가진 폴리에틸렌 도관으로, 후두전적출술을 받은 환자군 14명과 정상인 12명을 대상으로, stational pull-through 방법으로 시행하였다. 환자군에서 상부 식도괄약근은, 휴지기 압력, 최대 수축압력, 이완정도, 괄략운동의 조화성 및 괄약근의 길이 등이, 정상 대조군 보다 의미있게 감소되었다. 환자군에 있어서 식도체부의 운동성은 주로 근위부 식도체부에서, 수축력, 수축기간 및 연동파의 전파시간이 대조군에 비하여 의미있게 감소되었고, 연동운동시 동시 수축도 3례에서 관찰되었다. 하부 식도괄약근의 기능은 환자군과 대조군이 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았다.
