Abstract

We treated four cases of airway stenosis associated with large venous malformations of the pharyngolarynx. The patients ranged in age from 33 to 53 years, and consisted of one male and three females. The venous malformation was located in the posterior wall of the oropharynx in two cases, in the hypopharynx in. one case, and in the anterior wall of the oropharynx in one case. All the patients complained of shortness of breath upon adopting the supine position. The patients were tracheotomized under general anesthesia and treated by sclerotherapy under videolaryngoscopic guidance. We used absolute ethanol, polidocanol or monoethanolamine oleate, as appropriate, depending on the case. In regard to the efficacy of the sclerotherapy, the venous malformation disappeared in one case and reduced in size in the remaining three cases, and no severe adverse events were recognized in any of the cases. All the patients were discharged from the hospital within two weeks and did not need tracheostomy. Sclerotherapy umder videolaryngoscopic guidance is effective for the treatment of large venous malformations in the pharyngolarynx.

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
