Subluxation of the larynx. Report of a case
Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|February 1, 1980
Abstract:
Laryngeal subluxation unrelated to trauma is unusual. We report a case in which the cervical spine had elongated anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the sixth cervical vertebra. Lateral displacement of the larynx in this patient resulted in temporary engagement of the larynx on these prominent bony tubercles, with moderate discomfort. Manual manipulation of the larynx is a simple, nonoperative technique for reducing the subluxation.

01:21Larynx
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

01:31Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation
In assessing respiratory abnormalities, palpation and auscultation are critical tools for detecting and interpreting various pathophysiological changes. These techniques provide insight into underlying disorders by evaluating tactile sensations and sounds produced by the respiratory system.
Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:
