A case report of female patient with laryngeal granuloma

Abstract

The aim of this case report is to present the laryngeal granuloma in 23 year old female patient. Case outline: Te 23 year old female was admitted for examination, because of long lasting, progressive hoarseness. In anamnesis, we found that she has undergone general anesthesia for 8 times, in the early childhood. We performing direct laryngoscopy with complete otorhinolaryngologic examination, rigid endovideostroboscopy and the large granuloma of the larynx was found. Conclusions: Laryngeal granuloma of vocal cords affected mainly men, except for cases associated with laryngeal intubation. We should keep in mind that postintubation laryngeal granuloma might develop after tracheal intubation, so care must be taken to avoid the potential complication.

Cilj ovog rada je da prikažemo slučaj granuloma larinksa kod bolesnice ženskog pola. Prikaz bolesnika: Bolesnica starosti 23 godine, javila se zbog dugotrajne, promuklosti. U anamnezi ove bolesnice dobijamo podatak da je kod nje, tokom ranog detinjstva 8 puta bila primenjena endotrahealna intubacija. Tokom dijagnostičke evaluacije primenjena je direktna laringoskopija, kompletan otorinolaringološki pregled i rigidnu endovideolaringostroboskopija i uočen je laringealni granulom. Zaključak: Laringealni granulom je benigni izraštaj koji je češći kod osoba muškog pola, osim u slučajevima kod kojih je primenjivana endotrahealna intubacija. Trebalo bi imati u vidu da bi laringealni granulom mogao da se razvije posle primene endotrahealne intubacije, pa treba preduzeti sve mere da bi se izbegla ova potencijalna komplikacija.
