Abstract

Generally vocal fold polyps are small lesions causing dysphonia. In rare occurrences they may be huge in size and may present with dyspnea, choking spells, wheezing and stridor. We present five cases with giant vocal fold polyps with hoarseness and severe respiratory problems. In this report, clinical presentation and management of large vocal fold polyps are discussed.

Özet

Genel olarak ses teli polipleri disfoniye neden olan küçük lezyonlardır. Ender durumlarda aşırı büyüklüğe ulaşabilirler ve nefes darlığı, tıkanma, hırıltı ve stridora neden olabilirler. Çalışmamızda ses kısılması ve ciddi solunum problemleri olan beş adet aşırı büyüklükte ses teli polipi vakasını sunuyoruz. Bu raporda büyük ses teli poliplerinin tedavisi ve klinik değerlendirilmesi tartışılmıştır.
