[Severe laryngeal involvement in XXXX requiring permanent tracheostomy].

A 72-year-old @entity1 with severe @entity309 developed @entity9807 requiring surgery. Tracheal intubation was performed during the procedure. Gradually worsening @entity7364 and @entity1353 developed postoperatively. Laryngoscopy showed @entity3746 and coalescence of the arytenoid cartilages. Despite surgical treatment, permanent tracheostomy was required. There is evidence that laryngeal involvement is common but usually subclinical or mild in @entity309 @entity1 . Tracheal intubation can cause the laryngeal lesions to flare. Clinical manifestations are nonspecific and sometimes misleading (e.g., cough or pharyngeal and @entity158 ). Direct laryngoscopy and computed tomography of the larynx allow evaluation of the lesions of the different components of the larynx. The case reported herein demonstrates that @entity309 @entity1 should be screened for laryngeal involvement by history and ENT examination and that any @entity9257 should be reported to the anesthesiologist if tracheal intubation is planned.
