Laryngeal Perichondritis and Abscess

Historical Review and Modern Case of Spontaneous Laryngeal Abscess

“…This case is the only modern case to develop laryngeal stenosis and joint fixation, but this was a well-known historical sequela. 2 In contrast to historical cases, this review confirms that the majority of recent examples have occurred in the setting of immunosuppression Tubercular laryngeal abscess may still occur, but many more spontaneous abscesses are caused by non-tubercular bacteria, and no recently reported cases were caused by typhoid, measles, or syphilis. Poorly controlled DM is a newly described context for the development of a spontaneous laryngeal abscess, and providers should consider this diagnosis in such patients with a suspicious presentation.…”

Laryngeal abscess formation secondary to utilization of nasogastric tube in oral cancer patient: A case report

“…Laryngeal abscess is diagnosed by blood tests, laryngoscopy, and contrast-enhanced CT of the neck. There has only been one other reported case of laryngeal abscess triggered by a nasogastric tube in the field of otorhinolaryngology [2], as in the present case. In that case, when the nasogastric tube was removed on day 4 after insertion, the patient developed pharyngeal pain and neck tenderness two days after the tube was removed, and tracheotomy was performed to relieve the symptoms.…”

Immunosuppression and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Predisposing to Laryngeal Abscess

“…The culture yielding P. aeruginosa is unique among the organisms previously obtained from laryngeal abscesses ( Haemophilus, Neisseria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus , and/or anaerobes) 3–5 . Although not previously documented in laryngeal abscess cultures, systemic pseudomonal infections are quite prevalent in immunocompromised patients 9 and therefore would not be unexpected in the patient presented here.…”
