Background:

Laryngeal deviation can arise from idiopathic or acquired causes.
Accurate assessment of laryngeal structure is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the utility of helical computed tomography (CT) scanning for assessing laryngeal deviation.
To characterize the three-dimensional (3D) anatomical changes associated with laryngeal deviation.

Main Methods:

Helical CT scans were performed on five patients with laryngeal deviation and three controls.
Three-dimensional reconstructions of laryngeal cartilages, bones, and airway surfaces were generated.
Sequential coronal and axial images were analyzed.

Main Results:

Patients exhibited various degrees of thyroid cartilage inclination and twisting, with associated shifts in cricoid and arytenoid cartilages.
Laryngeal cavity inclination correlated with false vocal cord protrusion in some cases.
3D reconstructions, after computer-aided correction, closely resembled control anatomy, indicating the method's accuracy.

Conclusions:

Helical CT enables detailed 3D visualization of laryngeal cartilages, bones, and airway structures.
The ability to view images from multiple angles aids in understanding the specific characteristics of laryngeal deviation.
This imaging modality is valuable for the comprehensive assessment of patients with laryngeal deviation.
