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]

In the present study, we evaluate the prognostic factors and the usefulness of a grading system in 64 patients with vocal process granulomas. [okayama.pure.elsevier.com]

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]

• Hoarseness

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

  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]

  It seems appropriate to start an antireflux regimen before surgery, which can be chosen for non responders or cases with severe respiratory symptoms, hoarseness, or for definitive diagnosis. [elsevier.es]

This study compared the CR and recurrence rates between conservative treatment and surgery for granuloma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

First, we treated this disease with conservative treatments including a proton pump inhibitor, steroid inhalation, or voice therapy. Surgical treatment was reserved for failures of conservative treatments or when the diagnosis was in doubt. [okayama.pure.elsevier.com]

[edit] As the masses of granular tissue are most often benign, prognosis is generally positive.[5] However, due to the variety of treatment options and lifestyle factors, outcomes of individual treatments and form of management vary. [en.wikipedia.org]

CONCLUSIONS: The present results indicate that the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an independent etiological factor predicting retardation of the resolution of laryngeal granuloma. [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]

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]

Louis, in the mid-19th century, established the correlation between pulmonary and laryngeal tuberculosis and explained the pathophysiology of such laryngeal lesions. [entokey.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]

We take the utmost care to prevent poor voice outcomes. [voicedoctorla.com]

Another good option to try is botox injection which can be administered into the vocal cord muscle to prevent the vocal cords from coming together thereby preventing the granuloma site from being "hit" from the other side when talking. [fauquierent.net]
