Resumen
Un caso raro de amiloidosis laríngea regresó espontáneamente significativamente, mostrando una reducción del 85% en el tamaño de la lesión y una mejor movilidad de las cuerdas vocales. Este hallazgo desafía la necesidad típica de escisión quirúrgica en casos de amiloidosis laríngea.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Otorrinolaringología
- Patología
- Reumatología
Sus antecedentes:
- La amiloidosis laríngea es una afección rara, que representa menos del 1% de las lesiones laríngeas benignas.
- Es la manifestación más común de amiloidosis localizada en la región de la cabeza y el cuello.
- La disfonía y la disnea son los síntomas más frecuentes, siendo la extirpación quirúrgica el tratamiento estándar.

Larynx
2.1K
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,...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment
1.9K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...
