Indications des laryngoscopies en suspension

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONLes indications des laryngoscopies directes sous anesthésie générale ou laryngoscopie en suspension (LES) sont nombreuses dans un but diagnostique et/ou interventionnel (1). La LES est réalisée aux fins de diagnostic des pathologies laryngées morphologiques, neurologiques, inflammatoires et tumorales. Results : SL were performed for 147 cases (63,64%) of functional laryngeal disorders including 78 cases (33,77%) of laryngeal dyspnea and 69 cases (29,87%) of dysphonia. In 84 cases (36,36%) SL was used for microsurgery such as excision of papilloma (n=68), removal of foreign bodies (n=7) and a repair of synechia (n=5). The final results was constituted by 152 (65,80%) benign tumours and falsies tumours, 43 cancers (18,61%), 15 case (6,49%) of traumatic pathology. In 9 cases (3,90%) the examination was normal. Conclusion : SL were mainly performed for exploration of laryngeal functional disorders. Only limited surgical acts interesting management of the papillomatosis and laryngeal traumatism were perfomed.

Benign Nasosinus Tumors: Epidemiological, Clinical, Morphological, Therapeutic, and Evolutionary Aspects at the Adolphe SICE General Hospital in Pointe-Noire (Congo-Brazzaville)

“…Our results are close to those of Amana et al, Ette et al, who found 66.2% and 60% respectively for benign tumors [1] [7]. Papilloma was the most common histological form in the Amana et al series, accounting for 20.2% [1], compared with 16.6% in the Koffi-Aka series [4]. The results reported by some authors [3] [5] were low, at 19.70%.…”

“…In professional environments with limited resources, particularly in developing countries, these tumors pose a problem of diagnostic delay, often with aesthetic prejudice [4]. The aim of our study was to examine the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary particularities of these tumors, and to report on our experience in their therapeutic management in view of the limited technical resources available.…”
