Abstract

Serious side effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) are rare (A.L. Abramson, M.J. Shikowitz, V.M. Mullooly, Clinical effects of photodynamic therapy on recurrent laryngeal papillomas, Arch. Otolaryngology Head Neck Surg., 118 (1992) 25-29; A.L. Abramson, M.J. Shikowitz, Clinical exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus after photodynamic therapy of laryngotracheal papillomatosis, Laser Surg. Med., 13 (1993) 677-679). The most frequent side effects of PDT are hypersensitive skin reactions, local edema, nausea, a metallic taste and liver-toxicity (J. Feyh, E. Kastenbauer, Treatment of laryngeal papillomatosis with photodynamic laser therapy, Laryngorhinootologie, 71 (1992) 190-192; J. Feyh, R. Gutmann, A. Leunig, Die Photodynamische Therapie im Bereich der Hals-, Nasen-, Ohrenheilkunde Laryngorhinootologie, 72(6) (1993) 273-78; M.S. Kavuru, A.C. Mekta, Treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, N. Engl. J. Med., 326 (1992) 204-205; B.L. Wenig, D.M. Kurtzmann, Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, Arch. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg., 116 (1990) 1267-1270). In this case a patient (aged 57 years) suffering from a recurrent larynx papillomatosis was treated with PDT. He was s...Continue Reading
