“…These include reports of abscesses caused by ingestion of foreign bodies as well as injection of micronized human acellular dermis (Cymetra, Bridegwater, NJ) after medialization laryngoplasty . Posterior laryngeal trauma leading to an abscess has been described after intubation and nasogastric tube placement . Increasing severity and degree of laryngeal injury has been correlated with a larger endotracheal tube size and duration of intubation …”

Laryngeal abscesses are rare but potentially life-threatening infections due to potential airway obstruction. Most abscesses occur in the epiglottis or preepiglottic space as a sequela of acute supraglottitis. Abscesses in the posterior larynx are extremely rare and typically due to instrumentation or trauma. Appropriate workup and management of the airway are essential for optimizing outcomes in these patients. We present an interesting case and our management of a spontaneous posterior laryngeal abscess due to methicillin-resistant Staphlococcus aureus.

“…Na literatura consultada, a grande maioria dos casos se apresentaram associados a traumatismos laríngeos por intubação endotraqueal [7][8] , ou alimentação mediante a sonda nasogástrica [8][9] , ou por corpos Em conclusão, os abscessos laríngeos exigem rápida suspeita diagnóstica, baseado na história muito aguda e exames complementares, e exige tratamento imediato para haver garantia de bom resultado terapêutico. Se houverem alterações estruturais da laringe associadas, devem ser tratadas posteriormente.…”

ResumoIntrodução: Os abscessos laríngeos podem ser considerados uma raridade clínica atualmente, devido principalmente ao aumento do uso de antibióticos, bem como seus espectros de ação. Na era pré-antibiótica era um problema relativamente comum, com uma taxa de mortalidade próxima a 100%. A localização mais frequente dos abscessos na laringe é a região supraglótica periepiglótica, sendo extremamente incomuns em outras regiões. Em ampla revisão literária, não foi encontrado nenhum caso de abscesso laríngeo na prega vestibular. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 31 anos, cantor, procurou nosso serviço com quadro de um dia de odinofagia, disfagia e disfonia. Refere tabagismo e etilismo social. Na laringoscopia direta, observou-se edema e hiperemia importantes da prega vestibular direita, com abaulamento local. A tomografia computadorizada mostrou área hipoatenuante em prega vestibular direita, estabelecendo o diagnóstico. O paciente foi submetido à drenagem cirúrgica e recebeu antibioticoterapia.Apresentou boa evolução, com resolução dos sintomas em três dias. Discussão: O abscesso laríngeo deve ser um diagnóstico diferencial em casos de maior severidade de uma laringite comum. Na maioria dos casos, o tratamento clínico resolve o caso, mas uma abordagem cirúrgica pode ser necessária, especialmente para descartar neoplasias ou outras alterações anatômicas da laringe. A perviedade da via aérea deve estar garantida. A evolução é boa, se o tratamento é prontamente estabelecido.Palavras-chave: Abscesso; laringe; prega vestibular; laringoscopia. AbstractIntroduction: Laryngeal abscesses can be considered clinical rarities nowadays, mainly due to the increase of the use of antibiotics and their spectrum

“…Also, they have been found to be associated with typhoid, measles, scarlet fever, erysipelas, pyemia, or general sepsis. [1,2] Other cases are those associated with tuberculosis or syphilis of larynx. [1] The etiology of laryngeal abscess in recent times has changed to those with underlying malignancy, trauma due to airway instrumentation, nasogastric intubation, external beam radiotherapy, preexisting laryngocele, [2,3] injection laryngoplasty, [4] and skin tattooing.…”

Acute laryngeal abscess following acute sinusitis: A rare presentation in the modern era

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acute laryngeal abscess is a rare but potentially lethal condition. There are historic descriptions of its association with systemic illnesses like typhoid fever or as a result of spread of infection following upper respiratory tract catarrh. The etiology of laryngeal abscess in recent times has changed to those with underlying malignancy, trauma due to airway instrumentation, nasogastric intubation, and external beam radiotherapy. Here we report a case of acute laryngeal abscess following catarrh, identical to the historic descriptions, probably the first such report in the modern era, highlighting the importance of its early diagnosis and high index of suspicion, which led to a very good recovery in our patient.
