Correlation of Endoscopic and CT scan Findings in Laryngeal Carcinoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Laryngeal carcinoma is a common cancer in Indian population. Early diagnosis and management of the disease can decrease the mortality rate of the disease. Endoscopy and computed tomography of larynx play vital roles in diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods and Materials: In a prospective study conducted in Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, M.L.B. Medical College, Jhansi, U.P. we correlated the endoscopic and CT findings of larynx of 24 cases of laryngeal carcinoma. Aims: To compare the endoscopic and CT larynx findings and correlation of them in diagnosing and staging of laryngeal carcinoma. Summary: Laryngoscopy is better in detecting early mucosal changes of laryngeal cancer of various subsites as compare to CT scan. The few sites like ventricle, paraglottic space, pre epiglottic space can’t be assessed by laryngoscopy but can be better assessed by CT scan as well as the extention of disease to cartilage and neck. Both help in staging of laryngeal carcinoma. The Findings of endoscopy and CT scan and clinical staging can be confirmed by pathological staging of the disease. Conclusion: Laryngeal endoscopy and CT have their own advantages and disadvantages in diagnosing and staging of laryngeal cancer can be done more precisely when both endoscopic and CT findings are correlated
