[Reconstruction of scarring pharyngeal stenosis with forearm free flap:a case report]
Abstract:
A 33-year-old man presented with recurrent oral ulcers for more than 10 years,accompanying dyspnea and dysphagia for 1 year and aggravate for 1 month.Physical examination:pharyngeal cavity stenosis,mucous retention, epiglottis was extruded into the infant type. Electronic laryngoscope:Epiglottis curl,bilateral pyriform sinus disappeared.Ulcer and scar changes can be seen in the lateral wall of bilateral hypopharynx, piriform sinus and posterior annular area,and cover the throat inlet.Neck CT showed: soft tissue thickening in the posterior wall of oropharynx and laryngopharynx-prevertebral fascia, thickening in the right aryepiglottic fold and with local niche;slight uneven enhancement in enhanced scanning, and disappearance of bilateral pyriform sinus.Bilateral parapharyngeal space is clear, laryngopharyngeal wall is not thick, bilateral vocal cords are not thick, and laryngopharyngeal space is clear.Diagnosis: pharyngeal stenosis (scar?); Behcet's disease..

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Muscles that Move the Forearm
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...
