The Black Sombrero: A Helpful Landmark in Axial Imaging Evaluation of the Larynx and Hypopharynx

open access: yesPhilippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 2010
Computed Tomograpy (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evaluation of the larynx and hypopharynx can be tricky for the untrained eye. We discuss a peculiar pattern of the supraglottic airway at the level of the base of the epiglottis seen on ...

Downfolding of the epiglottis into the laryngeal inlet after tracheal intubation using the McGRATHTM MAC videolaryngoscope: a case report

open access: yesJA Clinical Reports, 2020
Background Downfolding of the epiglottis into the laryngeal inlet is considered to be a rare complication of tracheal intubation. We describe a case of epiglottic downfolding during tracheal intubation using a McGrath videolaryngoscope (McGRATHTM MAC ...

Endoscopic Suture Ligation and Sclerotherapy for Pharyngolaryngeal Venous Malformation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated suture ligation combined with sclerotherapy in 53 patients with pharyngolaryngeal venous malformations. A single procedure achieved complete resolution in 79.25% of cases, with no serious complications or need for prophylactic tracheostomy.

A Simple, Inexpensive, and Effective Light- Carrying Laryngoscopic Blade for Orotracheal Intubation of Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The research paradigm of using large laboratory animals, in which oroendotracheal intubations are relatively easy, is shifting toward the use of small animals, such as rodents, in which oropharyngeal access is limited, the arytenoid cartilage cycles are ...

Transoral Robotic Resection of Pediatric Tongue Base Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers a precise, minimally invasive approach for the management of rare pediatric tongue base malignancies. Intraoperative visualization demonstrates accurate tumor delineation and controlled resection, while postoperative findings confirm effective oncologic clearance with preservation of surrounding structures.

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Liquid Dynamics in the Upper Respiratory–Digestive System with Contracting Pharynx Motions and Varying Epiglottis Angles

open access: yesLiquids
Swallowing disorders, or dysphagia, can lead to bolus aspiration in the airway, causing serious adverse health effects. Current clinical interventions for dysphagia are mainly empirical and often based on symptoms rather than etiology, of which a ...
