Septal perforation

Investigations:• CT scan PNS • Investigations to diagnose

the cause e.g. for Syphilis TPI, FTA or Tuberclin test for TB

if infected

Treatment:• Presenting early:

1. Conservative2. 1ry sutures

Reinke’s Oedema

Leucoplakia of the Vocal Folds

• Investigations:1. DL & biopsy2. Stroboscopy

Treatment:1. Excision via MLS

(stripping of the VF) &Histopathology

2. Constant follow up

Cancer LarynxInvestigations:1. CT scan neck2. DL & biopsy

Treatment:According to stage:

Partial or total laryngectomy &/or Radiotherapy

Cancer Larynx

Acute EpiglottitisInvestigationsPlain X-ray lateral view

neck “swollen epiglottis”

Treatment:• Ensure patent air way:

– Corticosteroids– If severe stridor do

endotracheal tube or tracheostomy

• Antibiotics against H. influenza

Laryngeal Papilloma

Treatment: Excision by MLS, better with LASER

Laryngeal Papilloma

Right Vocal Fold Paralysis

Investigations:• CT scan neck from

base of skull down to upper chest.!!

• Laryngeal photography & Stroboscopy

Laryngeal Web

Investigations:• DL• Laryngeal

photography Treatment:• Excision by LASER

through MLS

Laryngeal Web

LaryngomalaciaInvestigation:• DL• Laryngeal

photography Treatment:• Conservative

(prone position)• Rarely

tracheostomy in cases of severe stridor

Laryngomalacia

The Pharynx

Tongue Depressor

Uses:– Examine the oral cavity and the oropharynx – The metallic is used in Cold mirror test

Acute Follicular Tonsillitis

Investigations:– Tonsillar swab for C&S – C.B.C.


• Treatment:– Rest, antipyretics & analgesics– Broad spectrum Antibiotic (e.g.amoxicillin +

clavulinic acid) for 10 days
