Abstract

Laryngeal web is a membrane-like structure extending acrossboth halves of the larynx which may develop in the supraglottic,glottic, and subglottic regions, and can be congenital butoften develops due to previous coarse laryngeal surgery. Ourcase is of a 13-year-old male patient who had been receivingasthma treatment for five years due to dyspnea and hoarseness.Videolaryngoscopy performed at our clinic revealed subglotticweb and left vocal cord paralysis. Direct laryngoscopy wasperformed under general anesthesia and the subglottic web waseradicated with radiofrequency. The patient’s postoperativedyspnea completely improved and hoarseness was partiallyimproved. Despite laryngeal web and unilateral vocal cordparalysis, our patient was 13 years of age. Despite all radiologicalexaminations, pathology may remain undetected. Endoscopicexamination must be especially performed in children withstridor and dyspnea to exclude congenital laryngeal pathologies.

Özet

Larengeal web supraglottik, glottik ve subglottik bölgede yer- leşebilen, doğuştan olabilmekle birlikte çoğu zaman önceki kaba larengeal cerrahiye bağlı olarak gelişebilen, larenksin her iki yarımını birbirine bağlayan perdemsi yapıdır. Olgumuz beş yıldır nefes darlığı ve ses kısıklığı nedeniyle astım tedavisi alan 13 yaşında erkek hasta idi. Kliniğimizde yapılan videola- ringoskopide subglottik alanda web ve sol vokal kord paralizisi tespit edildi. Genel anestezi altında direkt laringoskopi yapıldı, radyofrekans ile subglottik web açıldı. Hastanın ameliyat son- rası nefes darlığı yakınması tamamen, ses kısıklığı ise kısmen düzeldi. Larengeal web ve tek taraflı vokal kord paralizi olma- sına rağmen olgumuz 13 yaşına kadar gelmişti. Tüm radyolojik incelemelere rağmen patoloji tespit edilemeyebilir. Stridor ve dispne yakınması ile gelen çocuk hastalarda, doğuştan larenks patolojilerini ekarte etmek için endoskopik muayene mutlaka yapılmalıdır.
