The Larynx (Voicebox) - The Absence of The Epiglottis (Lid)
Loading player ... The player requires Flash Player plugin
Case description
In this video we can see the endoscopic view of the larynx with an absence of its epiglottis [dotted squares]. As we can see the left vocal fold is immobile. However it is almost completely-compensated with minimal phonatory gap. The epiglottis (the lid of the voicebox) as the first barrier protects the tracheobronchial tree against an aspiration; others are the false and true vocal folds. In this case the radiotherapy was performed in the past because of a locally advanced laryngeal cancer.
