Hyperfunctional, Hyperacidic, and Intubation Granulomas

Clinical Evolution of Laryngeal Granulomas: Treatment and Prognosis

“…All patients with postintubation granuloma who followed the treatment were successful with the first treatment adopted, whether surgical or clinical (Table III), without recurrence, with good prognosis, which is in line with the findings of other authors 3,4 . This behavior leads us to conclude that, in these patients, the treatment must be oriented toward the single, exclusive treatment of the lesion, since the driving cause no longer acts after extubation.…”

Multimodality Treatment for the Contact Granuloma of the Vocal Folds

“…Other causative factors suggested are smoking, infections, allergy, postnasal drip, and psychosocial traits. 3,7,8 Most common risk factors among our patients in our study were a history of reflux (71.4%) followed by con sumption of excessive tea (61.4%) vocal abuse (55.7%), and other important risk factors were smoking (45.7%) and habitual throat clearing (24.3%). History of alcohol consumption and intubation was given by 34.3% and 2.9% of our patients respectively.…”

Vocal Granuloma, Including Sclerosis of the Arytenoid Cartilage: Radiographic Findings

“…It has been said that patients are aggressive or tense individuals with a loud voice,4,5 and one useful classification describes vocal granulomas as hyperfunctional, hyperacidic, or intubation types. 6 In many of our patients no such causative factors can be found. Intubation granulomas were excluded from this series.…”
