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]
All patients experienced hoarseness secondary to the injections, but voice quality returned to baseline in all patients as the toxin was degraded.[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]
Laryngealdisorders. When relaxed, the vocal cords normally form a V-shaped opening that allows air to pass freely through to the trachea. The cords open during inspiration and close during swallowing or speech.[merckmanuals.com]

The LPR patients who do not symptomatically improve with antireflux therapy often have another underlying laryngealdisorder such as a vocal fold paresis. Laryngeal examination reveals subtle bowing or hypomobility of one or both vocal folds.[nature.com]
At 26 weeks of gestation, she had another episode of hematemesis, along with feeling short of breath and a globus sensation in her throat. She was referred to otolaryngology, and we evaluated her at 36 weeks of gestation.[consultqd.clevelandclinic.org]
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]

Intraoperative direct laryngoscopy showed that the tumour had a smooth surface with a wideneck, 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]

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]
The most common etiological factor is voice abuse, with predisponing factors such as reflux disease. Postintubation ulcers and granulomas, although of different etiology, according to all the other traits belong to this clinical entity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), hyperfunctional use of the voice, and intubation injury are etiological factors. Patients usually complain of dysphagia, and dysphonia.[laryngologyandvoice.org]

Louis, in the mid-19th century, established the correlation between pulmonary and laryngeal tuberculosis and explained the pathophysiology of such laryngeal lesions.[entokey.com]
Pathophysiology Contact granulomas are usually pale, pedunculated masses found on the medial or superior edge of the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage; however, they may also be deep red, lobulated, and sessile.[emedicine.medscape.com]

She was administered 250 mg methylprednisolone succinate for the prevention of vocal cord edema. Extubation was performed after complete awakening from anesthesia.[anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
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]
