Open partial horizontal laryngectomies for t3⁻t4 laryngeal cancer : prognostic impact of anterior vs. posterior laryngeal compartmentalization... "posterior" tumor location (as defined in respect to the paraglottic space divided according to a plane passing through the arytenoid vocal process, perpendicular to the ipsilateral thyroid lamina) may represent an additional prognostic...
Salvage surgery after radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer : from endoscopic resections to open-neck partial and total laryngectomies... All ONPLs were performed for rT1 and rT2 tumors with suboptimal endoscopic exposure, rT2 tumors with impaired cord mobility or transcommissural extension, and rT3 tumors for limited paraglottic space invasion or involvement of the inner portion of the thyroid cartilage....
Arytenoid fixation in laryngeal cancer: radiological pictures and clinical correlations with respect to conservative treatments... Methods: 29 consecutive patients who underwent open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs), induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy in the case of >50% response (IC + RT) or total laryngectomy were classified as: pattern I (supraglottic LC fixing the arytenoid due to weight effect), pattern II (glottic LC involving the posterior paraglottic space and spreading toward the crico-arytenoid joint and infraglottic extension <10 mm), pattern III (glottic—infraglottic LC involving the crico-arytenoid...
Thyroid cartilage window approach to extract a foreign body after migration into the paraglottic spaceWe report a case of fish bone impaction in the paraglottic space, which caused palsy of the left vocal cord....
