A retrospective study of the complications of treatment with the carbon dioxide (CO 2) laser of 17 patients diagnosed to be suffering from recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis is presented. No immediate complications occurred except one case of laryngospasm and failure to intubate during anaesthesia leading to hypoxic encephalopathy. Three patients were completely free from disease and complications. Another patient was free from laryngeal lesions but developed a papilloma in the right tonsillar pillar.

hree hundred and seventeen patients with hypopharyngeal tumours presented at Assuit University Hospital and were studied retrospectively with regard to sex and age incidence. Postericoid tumours form the majority (50.1 per cent) followed by pyriform fossa tumours (26.5 per cent) and finally posterior pharyngeal wall tumours (23.4 per cent). Men form the majority (211 out of 317, ie 69.7 per cent). The age incidence shows two peaks at 31–35 years and 56–60 years. The first peak is formed mainly of women while the secon

PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-nine cases of glottic carcinoma were examined clinically and endoscopically. Clinical staging included T1 (seven cases), T2 (seven cases), T3 (13 cases) and T4 (two cases). At clinical and endoscopic examination the cord was classified as normally mobile, having impaired mobility, or non-mobile (fixed). Each patient underwent conventional tomography in the coronal plane and contrast-enhanced CT. Each CT study was independently reviewed and tabulated by one author (AAM) without knowledge of the ... إجمالي الاقتباس

This paper reports on the role of CT in evaluating patients with entirely submucosal laryngeal mass lesions and the range of pathology encountered in this population. Twenty- four patients with submucosal mass lesions were studied over a period of 15 years. Charts were reviewed to establish the presenting complaints, time to diagnosis, and number of endoscopic procedures required to make the diagnosis. Final diagnoses were confirmed
