Goiter01:27

Goiter

Goiter refers to an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland that may appear as a diffuse goiter (uniform enlargement) or nodular (single or multiple nodules). Functionally, it is classified as nontoxic (normal/low hormone levels) or toxic (excess hormone production).PathophysiologyDiffuse thyroid enlargement typically results from prolonged stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or TSH-like agents, commonly seen in hypothyroidism or iodine deficiency. In contrast, in hyperthyroid...
Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Laryngeal Pathology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Epiglottic inclusion cysts are exceptionally rare benign lesions of the larynx.
  • Persistent pharyngeal foreign body sensation can be a symptom of these cysts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of a giant epiglottic inclusion cyst.
  • To highlight the diagnostic utility of the 'apple sign' on CT scans.
  • To evaluate transoral plasma resection as a treatment modality.

Main Methods:

  • A 41-year-old female patient presented with a year-long foreign body sensation.
  • Diagnostic tools included laryngoscopy and contrast-enhanced cervical CT.
  • Surgical intervention involved suspension laryngoscopic coblation under fiber optic intubation.

Main Results:

  • Laryngoscopy revealed a giant epiglottic cyst.
  • CT imaging demonstrated the characteristic pedunculated 'apple sign'.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an epiglottic inclusion cyst.

Conclusions:

  • The 'apple sign' is crucial for accurate preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Transoral plasma resection is a safe, effective, and low-recurrence treatment for this rare laryngeal disease.
