사성이란 후두의 발생기능에 장애가 있을 때 생기는 후두질환의 가장 대표적인 주증상으로 인간 문화의 발달에 병행되어서 대화에 의한 전달수단이 중요시되고 또한 암에 대한 인식이 높아져 사성을 호소하는 환자들이 많아지는 경향이 있다. 이에 저자는 1980년 1월부터 1984년 12월까지 이화여자대학교 의과대학 부속병원 이비인후과 외래에 내원한 신외래환자 총 24,949명 중 사성을 주소로 한 800명의 환자에 대하여 병력지를 기준하여 각 질환을 통계적으로 분석 검토하여 다음과 같은 성적을 얻었다. 1) 이비인후과 외래환자 총 24,949명중 사성환자는 800명으로 약 3.2%이었다. 2) 외래사성환자 800명중 남자 336명, 여자 464명으로 남녀비는 약 1 : 1.4이었다. 3) 질환별로는 급성 후두염 248예(31.0%), 만성 후두염 186예(23.3%), 성대결절 160예(20.0%), 성대폴립 90예(11.3%), 성대마비 56예(7.0%), 후두 유두종 12예(1.5%), 후두암 9예(1.1%)이었다. 4) 연령별로는 30대가 213예(26.6%), 20대가 190예(23.8%), 40대가 179예(22.4%)의 순이었다. 5) 각 질환별 최다연령은 급성 후두염 30대 73예(29.4%), 만성 후두염 30대 53예(28.5%), 성대결절 30대 52예(32.5%), 성대폴립 40대 26예(28.9%), 성대마비 40대 14예(25.0%), 후두암 50대 6예(66.7%)이었다. 6) 발병부터 초진까지의 기간은 10일 이내가 153예(19.1%)로 제일 많았고 1개월∼3개월 138예(17.3%), 11일∼l개월 119예(14.9%)의 순이었다. 7) 각 질환에 따른 발병부터 초진까지의 기간의 최다분포는 급성 후두염은 10일 이내가 117예(47.2%), 만성 후두염은 3개월∼6개월이 44예(23.7%), 성대결절은 3개월∼6개월이 40예(25.0%), 성대폴립은 6개월∼1년이 20예(22.2%), 성대마비는 10일이내가 12예(21.4%)이었다. 8) 질환별 동반증상 분포는 사성만을 호소한 경우가 394예(41.4%)로 가장 많았고 동반증상으로는 인두통, 이물감, 객담, 기침, 연하장애, 호흡곤란의 순이었다. 9) 저자의 연도별 사성환자의 평균발생빈도(3.2%)를 문(1981)의 1975년 1월부터 1979년 12월(만 5년간)까지의 평균발생빈도(2.9%)와 비교할 때 증가하였다.

Laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB) is a common disease in the pediatric population, and it is rarely caused by a fungal infection. Acute respiratory failure caused by fungal LTB mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients, and early diagnosis is closely associated with morbidity and mortality. However, an appropriate diagnosis is challenging for pediatricians because symptoms and signs of LTB caused by Aspergillus spp. are nonspecific. Here, we report a case of progressive respiratory failure caused by pseudomembranous LTB in a child with a suspicion of primary immunodeficiency and highlight the importance of an early investigation, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Background and Objectives : Gastric acid reflux has been suggested to have an association with sleep apnea(SA). This study's aim is to evaluate the relationship between reflux laryngitis and SA through the fact that the treatment of reflux laryngitis may impact the snoring and SA related symptoms in selective individuals. Methods : Population consist of 24 males and 10 female aged 34 to 66 years(mean age 50 years) confirmed by Reflux Finding Score(RFS) of PC Belafsky. Thirty four patients with reflux laryngitis and associated symptoms of SA were treated with proton pump inhibitor(Rabeprazole sodium 10mg/day) for 60 days. The degree of snoring and apnea related symptoms were evaluated using questionnaires, and palatine tonsillar hypertropy(PTH) and RFS were compared preoperatively and postoperatively. Results : After antireflux treatment for 60 days, the snoring(p=0.039), daytime sleepiness(p=0.002), and concentration(p=0.011) were significantly improved(p<0.05) and RFS was significantly decreased(p=0.000), but morning headache(p=0.057) and sleep apnea(p=0.083) were not significantly improved(p>0.05) and PTH was not significantly decreased(p=0.328). Conclusion : Treatment of reflux laryngitis significantly impacted the snoring, daytime sleepiness, and concentration in selective individuals. These results suggest some close relationship between reflux laryngitis and SA, and the treatment of reflux laryngitis may be some effective in those with both disorders.

성인에 있어서 급성 후두개염의 발생빈도는 점차 증가하고 있다는 보고들이 있다. 일명 성문상부염(supraglottitis)이라고도 불린다. 이는 비단 후두개뿐만 아니라, 성문상부 구조물의 광범위한 염증을 흔히 동반하기 때문이다. 항생제의 발달로 과거와 같은 심각한 호흡곤란및 급성 상기도 증상을 일으켜, 기관지 절개술 등을 필요로 하는 경우는 많이 줄었다 하더라도 여전히 급성상기도 폐쇄를 일으킬 수 있는 응급질환 중의 하나이다. 저자들은 최근 18년동안 본교실에서 급성 후두개염으로 진단받고 치료받은 성인환자 103례중 77례를 대상으로 후향적으로 임상적 특징, 검사소견, 치료성적 등을 비교, 분석하였다. 문헌고찰과 아울러 보고하고저 한다.

One week survey to investigate the prevalence rate and clinical characteristics of laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms in Korea. The subject(n=7,704 patients) was newly enrolled patients at the out patient clinic in 90 ENT departments of resident training hospitals and 11 local clinics, which were voluntarily participated in the study 1) Twenty five percent of all enrolled patients has LPR-related symptoms or clinical findings from the examination by ENT specialists. 2) Among e name of LPR-related diagnosis, globus syndrome was e most common, and follows by reflux laryngitis, and chronic laryngitis. 3) Women was more prevalent than men, and it is common in 5th, 6th, and 7th decades, which seems to be related with aging process. 4) Most popular symtoms of LPR. were globus sensation, conic throat clearing, and hoarseness of unknown origin. 5) Aggravating factors of LPR-related symptoms were tiredness, mental stress, drink alcohol, cigarettes smoking, spicy food, and drinking coffee. 6) LPR-related symptoms were more common in professional voice users. 7) In past medical history, diseases of stomach and tonsillitis were most common.

Hoarseness is the most common and early symptom in laryngeal diseases. A clinico - statistical analysis was performed on 228 cases with chief complaint of hoarseness at the department of otolaryngology, Jeonbug National University during the past 3 years from January 1980 to December 1980. 1) The number of the patient with hoarseness were 228 cases (2.3 %) among total outpatient of 10110 cases. 2) Among the 228 cases with hoarseness, male were 115 cases and female were 113 cases, so sex ratio was nearly same. 3) The underlying diseases causing hoarseness in order of frequency were acute laryngitis 43 cases (18.9 %), chronic laryngitis 36 cases (15.8 %), vocal nodule 30 cases(13.2 %), vocal polyp 30 cases (13.2 %), vocal cord paralysis 26 cases (11.4 %), laryngeal carcinoma 18 cases (7.9 %) and laryngeal tuberculosis 15 cases (6.6 %). There were other diseases of larynx in 30 cases (13.2 %). 4) The incidence of age distribution in order of frequency were 4th decade (26.8 % ), 3rd decade (18.9%), 5th decade (17.1 %), 2nd decade (15.8 %) and 6th decade (9.6 %). 5) The duration from onset to consultation in order of frequency were 11 days-1 month (22.8 %), 1 month-3 months(19.7%), 3 months -6 months (18.9 %), within 10 days (13.6 %), 6 months-l year (13.2 % ), 1 year -3 years(7. 9 %) and 3 years over. 6) The duration from onset to consultation for underlying diseases were as follows ; acute laryngitis was within 10 days, chronic laryngitis was 3 months - 6 months, vocal nodule was 1 month-3 months, vocal polyp was 3 months -1 year, vocal cord paralysis was 11 days -1 month. 7) Associated symptoms with hoarseness in order of frequency were sore throat (25 %), sputum (8.8 %), swallowing difficulty (7.9 %) and dyspnea (6.1 %). But 84 cases (36.8 %), there were no other symptoms except hoarseness.

Among the patients presented with the chief complaint of voice change, the one with unilaterally injected vocal fold was occasionally found at the out patient clinic. The most patients had rarely improved in symptom with conservative treatment under the impression of chronic laryngitis. Some papers were reported that the injected vocal fold(s) is due to laryngeal tuberculosis hick is sometimes associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. We investigated six patients presented unilaterally injected vocal fold with videolaryngoscope and performed histopathologic confirm with laryngeal biopsy respectively. There were low cases of laryngeal tuberculosis, one case of squamous cell carcinoma and one case of chronic larngitis. Proper management was done according to the tissue diagnosis. Pretretment and posttreatment videolaryngoscopic findings as well as some literature review were done.
