Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Laryngeal malformations: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Malformation of the larynx is rare. Some of them are completely incompatible with life, for example, with laryngotracheal pulmonary agenesis, atresia with complete obstruction of the larynx or trachea and bronchi.

Measles laryngitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Usually, when measles laryngitis occurs, measles virus affects the entire respiratory tree, so that the larynx disease is only a particular case of a general inflammatory process in the upper and lower respiratory tract.

Typhoid laryngitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

It is known that S. Typhi, discovered by Ebert Perth, and named in his honor by Eberthella typhi, has a large penetrance to lymphoid tissue, affecting mainly the lymphatic system of the abdominal cavity and in particular the group lymphatic follicles of the small intestine and solitary follicles.

Influenza laryngitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The preferred localization of influenza infection is the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and in particular the larynx. Usually the manifestation of influenza in this area occurs in the form of catarrhal inflammation, but in more severe forms of influenza, hemorrhagic laryngitis is often observed, manifested by submucous hemorrhages or fibrinous exudative laryngitis with marked exudation of fibrin and ulceration of the mucous membrane.

Diphtheria larynx

Throat diphtheria croup is observed in severe forms of diphtheria, manifesting signs of a common infectious disease. And although diphtheria sore throat and laryngitis in our time, due to vaccination with diphtheria toxoid, are rare, there are still cases of acute primary diphtheria laryngitis, limited only by laryngeal disease.

Arthritis of the larynx joints: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Arthritis of the larynx joints arise primarily and secondarily. Primary arthritis is caused by rheumatoid infection and manifests, along with the lesion of other joints - brushes, feet, rarely larger joints (rheumatoid and rheumatic polyarthritis).

Chondroperichondritis of the larynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Chondroperichondritis of the larynx is an inflammation of the perichondrium and cartilage of the larynx skeleton, caused either by the diseases described above (laryngeal angina, acute laryngoblochitis, submucosal laryngeal abcession), or resulting from traumatic damage to the larynx with disruption of the integrity of the mucosa and perichondrium and secondary infection, or as a result ulceration of the mucous membrane in diseases such as syphilis, tuberculosis, etc.

Abscess and phlegmon of the larynx

Abscess of larynx and phlegmon of the larynx are very dangerous diseases, which are fraught with quite serious complications.

Laryngeal edema

Laryngeal edema is inflammatory and non-inflammatory. The first ones are caused by a toxigenic infection, the second - by various diseases, which are based on allergic processes, metabolic disorders, etc.).

Acute ulcerative-membranous and fibrinous laryngitis

Ulcerative-membranous laryngitis is very rare and is caused by a fusospiralous microbiota similar to the one that causes the Simanovsky-Plaut-Vincent angina.
