Mediastinoscopy is a surgical endoscopic technique used mainly for examination and biopsy of lesions of the superior and posterior middle mediastinum. It is particularly concerned with diseases that primarily or secondary involve the paratracheal and parabronchial lymphatics. A total of 18 cases of mediastinoscopy are presented with a detailed analysis of indications and results. Of these mediastinoscopy was positive in i0 [56%] and negative in 8 [44%]. The 10 positive mediastinoscopies were diagnostic in 4 patients with malignant lymphoma, 5 patients with carcinoma of the lung, one patient with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Of 8 negative mediastinoscopies, one was inoperable due to recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement, 7 patients were subjected to radical resection. Complications of mediastinoscopy were developed in 2 cases, one was minimal degree of subcutaneous emphysema on anterior chest wall, and the other was widening of right mediastinal border due to hematoma. Two complications were completely absorbed after 7 days.

Extra-anatomic bypass is indicated for the limb salvage of patients with threatened limb loss especially those who have high risk of infection and death after general anesthesia. We did extra-anatomic bypass procedure nineteen times over a seven year, two month period on sixteen patients. Their mean follow up period was 41.3 months. Male to female ratio was 7:1. Major complaints were resting pain[36.8%], claudication[31.6%], cyanosis[15.8%] and ulcerative change[15.8%]. Associated diseases were hypertension, tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, atrial fibrillation, complete heart block and laryngeal cancer. Postoperative patency rates were 76.9% at 1 year, 72.7% at 2 years and 70% at 3 years. Limb salvage rate was 78.9%. Postoperative mortality rate was 10.5%.

Clinical study was performed on 128 cases who complained of hoarsseness in according to causes therapies. which causes were newly known and advanced treatment methods were developed. The following results were obtained : 1) Among 128 cases, male was 45.3%, and female 54.7%, so sex ratio was 1:1.2. 2) The highest incidence of age causing hoarseness in order of frequency were 4th decade 30.5%, 5th decade 26.6% and 6th decade 24.8%. 3)The underlying diseases causing hoarsensess in oder of frequency were functional dysphonia 26.5%, laryngeal nodule 17.7% and chroic laryngitis 16.3%. 4) In view of the occupation. sterss group was 84.1% and non-stress group 15.9%. 5) The highest incidence of associated diseases in order of frequency were gastro intestinal diseases 29.7%, hypertension 9.4% and pulmonary tuberculosis 2.3%. 6) Vocal hygiene and voice therapy are the most needful therapeutic modalities.

Vocal fold leukoplakia poses a challenge to otolaryngologists due to its various spectrum of pathologic diagnosis. The degree of dysplasia is associated with malignancy risk and the new 2017 WHO classification system changed from the 3-tier system to a 2-tier system consisting of low and high grades. Infections including candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and tuberculosis should also be included in the differential diagnosis. Efforts have been made to evaluate risks using endoscopic technologies such as narrow band imaging, and surgery is essential for histopathological diagnosis. Regarding management, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis and find a balance between oncologic safety and functional outcome.

급성 후두개염은 상기도 폐색에 따른 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있는 질환으로 주의 깊은 호흡관찰과 아울러 급성 상기도 폐색의 초기 징후를 빨리 인지하고 적절한 기관내 삽관술이나 기관 절개술 등으로 기도를 확보해야 하는 심각한 질환이다. 1978년 Cantrell 등은 호흡곤란을 동반한 소아의 급성 후두개염 환자에서 후두의 부종이 진행함에 따라 앉은 자세에서 상체를 구부리고 턱을 내밀어서 호흡하는 특이한 이학적 소견을 기술한 바 있는데, 이러한 자세를 취함으로서 기관이 당겨져 상부기도의 장력을 증가시켜 후두개 및 주위 연조직의 부종에 의한 기도 폐쇄를 완화시킬수 있기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 급성 후두개염 환자에서 턱을 내말고 목을 쭉 뻗어서 호흡하는 이학적 소견은 후두 부종에 의한 상기도 폐색이 임박하였음을 시사하는 소견이라 할 수 있겠다. 본 저자들은 앉은 자세에서 목을 쭉 뻗어서 호흡하는 특이한 이학적소견을 보이는 급성 후두개염 환자 2예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Tumor of the trachea are uncommon. Trachea tumor are usually diagnosed late in their natural history, because the tracheal lumen may be extensively involved before symptoms occur, and because symptoms may be confused with those of asthma. Some 19% to 29% of the trachea tumor have laryngeal or lung malignancy. Squamous carcinoma is by far the most frequent among tracheal tumor, although adenocarcinoma and oat cell carcinoma have been described so. Oat cell carcinoma in the trachea are aggressive tumors as they are in the lung and elsewhere. Oat cell carcinoma as well as squamous cell carcinoma are related with tobacco exposure. We presented a case of small cell carcinoma nearly obstructing the trachea and right main bronchus which was partially removed after bronchoscopic ethanol injection, along with a review of the literature.
