We present a case where bilateral laryngeal granulomas became clinically evident 3 mo after orthognathic surgery. The patient, a 19-yr-old female, developed acute dyspnea after experiencing gradual voice loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Thyroid Nodule

  METHOD: We present the case of a 48-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a laryngeal neoplasm on integrated positron emission tomography and computed tomography scanning, after a routine ultrasound demonstrated an enlarged thyroid nodule. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hoarseness

  Two days after extubation, the patient complained of hoarseness, sore throat, and dyspnea. When symptoms persisted, she was evaluated in the Otolaryngology Department. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In February 1997, she visited the otorhinolaryngology department in our hospital because of continuous hoarseness. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

  If the granuloma is located on the vocal folds, the patient may present with hoarseness and breathiness, if closure of the folds is impaired. [questia.com]

  She presented without trismus and was assessed as Mallampati Class I. Laryngeal endoscopy, performed at the otolaryngology department of our hospital, demonstrated a laryngeal tumour with a diameter of approximately 10 mm (Figure 1 a). [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

• Wide Neck

  Intraoperative direct laryngoscopy showed that the tumour had a smooth surface with a wide neck, and its stalk adhered to the posterior part of the right vocal fold (Figure 1 d). We saw no bleeding due to tumour involution by the tracheal tube. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

when factors are eliminated, the contact granuloma resolves independently), because any irritation can cause the contact granulomas to reappear.[2] Prognosis[edit] As the masses of granular tissue are most often benign, prognosis is generally positive [en.wikipedia.org]

AIMS AND BACKGROUND: The etiology of laryngeal granulomas is often multifactorial and the benefit of pharmacological therapy remains unclear. Anti-reflux treatment is only effective in granulomas definitely induced by gastroesophageal reflux. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), hyperfunctional use of the voice, and intubation injury are etiological factors. Patients usually complain of dysphagia, and dysphonia. [laryngologyandvoice.org]

Laryngeal granulomas are found most commonly in the posterior larynx involving the region of the arytenoid cartilages; but depending upon the etiology, they may be found anywhere in the larynx. [questia.com]

For most patients with laryngeal granulomas due to LPR, prolonged treatments with high doses of proton pump inhibitors is necessary to reverse tissue damage and prevent recurrence. [questia.com]

Awake or semi-awake intubation can be performed to prevent tumour disruption, and intubation can be performed by advancing the endotracheal tube along the opposite side from the tumour under bronchoscopic visualization. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]
