성대낭종은 후두미세수술의 발달로 보다 정확한 진단 및 치료가 가능하므로서 관심도가 증가하고 있다. 성대 낭종은 낭종의 내용물 및 점막상태에 따라 저류성 낭종과 유표피성 낭종으로 분류하고 있는데, 저류성 낭종은 점액 분비선의 폐쇄로 점액이 저류되어 발생하며 유표피 낭종은 선천성으로 상피하층에 파묻힌 상피세포의 잔여물이거나 혹은 파묻힌 상피세포 위에 외상(음성남용)으로 손상된 점막이 재생하는 과정에서 발생한다는 설이 있다. (중략)

Laryngeal granuloma following endotracheal anesthesia was reported as traumatic granuloma of the larynx by Clausen in 1932. Thereafter Harrison reported that 4% of the intubated cases developed larynx and upper respiratory tract injuries and 1% of the above mentioned injured cases later developed laryngeal granuloma with symptoms including voice change and even dyspnea in severe cases. The endotracheal intubation has been wedely used for general anesthesia or patency of the air way .and the reported cases of the laryngal granuloma Fig. 5. as its complication have been increased in number worldwidely. For a year from March 1975 to Feb. 1976, the authors have experienced the nine cases of laryngeal granuloma in our department and this is the report of clinical findings on these cases along with literature review.

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.

The common causes of neck closed injuries are automobile accidents and sports troubles; open injuries are gun-shot wounds and stab wounds. Generally, the treatment of wide laryngopharyngeal injuries consists of tracheostomy for adequate airway, simple repair and, later, surgical intervention for chronic laryngeal stenosis and hypopharyngeal reconstruction. Recently, authors experienced a case of extensive communicated wound with large defect on the layngopharyngeal structures and anterior neck skin. This large defect was reconstructed with horizontal cervical skin flap after total laryngectomy.

Airway stenosis in children may be classified into congenital and acquired forms. The incidence of acquired forms is increasing mainly due to increase in prolonged intubation and trauma. In congenital stenosis with significantly compromised airway, the patient may be tracheotomized and allowed some waiting period while expecting spontaneous resolution as the child grows. However, with this treatment policy, there is a considerably higher mortality and morbidity for the acquired disease as to often warrant surgical reconstruction. The authors reviewed the medical records of 22 pediatric patients under the age of 15 who have had airway reconstruction at the authors' department from the beginning of January, 1988 through the end of December, 1992. The prognosis was analyzed in light of the etiology, site and severity of the stenosis, and the type of reconstructive measures.

The Silicone tracheal T-tube was designed to maintain an adequate tracheal airway as well as to provide support in the stenotic reconstituted or reconstructed trachea. This report is our experiences with using silicone T-tube which were successfully used to two cases with extensive laryngotracheal trauma, and one case with decannulation difficulty for 9 months. Authors strongly believe that silicone T-tube is an excellent device out of consideration for our experienced cases, though many techniques have been applied for the treatments of tracheal problems.

The microsurgery of the laryngeal lesions was introduced by Kleinsasser in 1965. This has been utilized for diagnosis, surgical management and education of the laryngeal lesions. The laryngomic-roscopic technique appear to be useful in the evaluation of the lesions which may be precancerous, since minor degrees of epithelial thickening and alterations in the pattern of fine vessels beneath the epithelium may be observed with greater clarity. With suspension laryngoscopy, the authors experienced 11 cases of the laryngeal lesions: polyp (4 cases), web formation between false cords and true cords (1), papilloma (4), laryngeal trauma (1), and squamous cell carcinoma (1).

Laryngeal web was first reported by Fleischmann in 1822, and it causes upper airway obstruction and abnormalities of phonation. Congenital webs result from an arrest of development of the larynx around the tenth week of fetal life. Acquired webs may result from cicatrical strictures of infectious lesion, traumatic and postoperative wounds. The most common site of webbing is glottic, followed by subglottic and supraglottic. We have experienced a case of simultaneous glottic and supraglottic laryngeal webs probably due to tuberculous lesions in 28 aged male who was treated by endolaryngeal microsurgery.

Hoarseness is the change of voice quality which represents the abnormal function of phonation and is the main symtom of the laryngeal diseases. The etiology of hoarseness are known more than 50 causes, among them, viral upper respiratory infection is the main cause of hoarseness and the laryngeal nodule and polyp, laryngeal paralysis, laryngeal cancer, laryngeal papilloma and the laryngeal tuberculosis are the other causes of hoarseness in that order. Recently, the authors experienced 4 cases of uncommon etiology of hoarseness, so we present the cases with the brief review of literatures. Case 1. 29 years old male Admitted in Dept. of neurosurgery due to Traffic Accident. He had a trauma on the anterior neck. Hoarseness was developed on 1 month after the accident. Laryngoscopic finding; Paramedian paralysis of left vocal cord. Displacement of left arytenoid cartilage. Case 2. 53 years old male Admitted in Dept. of General Surgery due to Clonorchis Sinensis, under the general endotracheal anesthesia, Choledochostomy was performed. Laryngoscopic finding; Median paralysis of left vocal cord. Case 3. 56 years old male Admitted in Dept. of Internal Medicine due to Aortic Aneurysm. Hoarseness was developed on 3 months prior to admission. Laryngoscopic finding; Intermediated position paralysis of left vocal cord. Displacement of left arytenoid cartilage. Case 4. 74 years old male Admitted in Dept. of Internal Medicine due to Bronchogenic carcinoma. Hoarseness was developed on 3 years prior to admission. Laryngoscopic finding; Paramedian paralysis of right vocal cord.

Occipito-atlanto-axial subluxation is a type of high cervical injury. Misdiagnosis of this instability might cause several complications, including neurologic deficits. A radiologic evaluation must be performed and specific parameters that imply cervical instability must be confirmed. Full understanding of these parameters may prevent not only delayed diagnosis but also unexpected complication. We report a case of delayed detection of a cervical instability and emphasize the role of proper diagnosis.
