Abstract

Laryngeal schwannomas are slow growing, quite rare benign tumors. Although they are slow growing and histologically benign, they have the potential to cause significant morbidity with laryngeal involvement. In this case report we presented a 28-year-old man with a huge laryngeal schwannoma which causes intensive snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The tumor was totally excised by transhyoid pharyngotomy approach without any complication. There was no other documented laryngeal schwannoma case has presented with obstructive sleep apnea before.

Özet

Larenks schwannoması oldukça nadir görülen, yavaş büyüyen benin karakterde bir tümördür ancak larengeal tutuluma bağlı olarak yüksek morbiditeye yol açma potansiyelleri vardır. Genellikle ariepiglotik plikayı veya band ventrikülü tutar. Biz bu bildiride horlama ve uyku apnesi şikayetleri ile polikliniğimize başvuran 28 yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunmaktayız. Hastanın larenks kitlesi transhiyoid faringotomi yaklaşımıyla total olarak çıkarılmış ve herhangi bir komplikasyon görülmemiştir. Literatürde uyku apnesi şikayeti ile başvuran başka bir vakaya rastlanmamıştır.
