T1: hypointense T2: “evil gray”, moderately hyperintense T1 + Gd: moderate enhancement Via the inferior pharyngeal constrictor Via the cricothyroid membrane muscle LARYNGOCELE LARYNGOCELE MIXED INTERNAL SUPRAGLOTTITIS secondary laringocele Emergency Upper airway obstruction CT - If Laryngoscopy is not posible - Abscess Cause? 9 Continuous increases of the intralaryngeal pressure: excessive cough, playing wind instruments, glass blowing. 9 Valve mechanism: squamous carcinoma. CLOSING REMARKS Thank you CT Glottic plane. Laryngeal neoplasm, pay attention: -PGE - PGS: Posterior PGS may be T3+ - Spread routes: PGS, AC - Extralaringeal extension: not only cartilages... also membranes Secondary Laryngocele in neoplasm. SupraglottitisÆ can rapidly develop airway compromise..
