Abstract:
Oedema, fibrosis, and stenosis of the hypopharynx and the oesophageal inlet are described in a few publications as a complication of post-laryngectomy irradiation treatment. In this paper a case of laryngeal carcinoma, treated exclusively by irradiation, where severe laryngeal and hypopharyngeal stenosis with complete occlusion of the oesophageal inlet were manifested as a late complication is described. We have found no similar case described in the English literature.
