| ILMA | intubating laryngeal mask airway |
| LSCC | laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma |
| laryngeal masks | A type of oropharyngeal airway that provides an alternative to endotracheal intubation and standard mask anaesthesia in certain patients. It is introduced into the hypopharynx to form a seal around the larynx thus permitting spontaneous or positive pressure ventilation without penetration of the larynx or oesophagus. It is used in place of a facemask in routine anaesthesia. The advantages over standard mask anaesthesia are better airway control, minimal anaesthetic gas leakage, a secure airway during patient transport to the recovery area, and minimal postoperative problems. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| laryngeal mucosa | The mucous lining of the larynx; mainly stratified squamous epithelium in the upper part and ciliated columnar in the lower part of the larynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal muscles | The intrinsic muscles of the larynx are the aryepiglottic(us), arytenoid(eus), cricoarytenoid(eus), cricothyroid(eus), thyroarytenoid(eus), thyroepiglottic(us) and vocal(is). (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal neoplasms | Cancers or tumours of the larynx or any of its parts: the glottis, epiglottis, laryngeal cartilages, laryngeal muscles, and vocal cords. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal nerves | Branches of the vagus nerve (the tenth cranial nerve). The superior laryngeal nerves originate near the nodose ganglion and separate into external branches, which supply motor fibres to the cricothyroid muscles, and internal branches, which carry sensory fibres. The recurrent (inferior) laryngeal nerve originates more caudally and carries efferents to all muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid. The laryngeal nerves and their various branches also carry sensory and autonomic fibres to the laryngeal, pharyngeal, tracheal, and cardiac regions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal oedema | Oedema of any region of the larynx from a variety of causes. In the earliest stages it may be difficult to differentiate from infection, although mucosal injection and erythema are found more often in the latter. Allergic oedema may result as a response from provocation induced by foods, inhalants, and drugs. The entire respiratory tract or only an isolated portion of the larynx may be affected. Laryngeal oedema may also be hereditary. Other possible causes of laryngeal oedema include increased capillary pressure due to superior vena cava syndrome, internal jugular vein ligation, lowered plasma osmotic failure induced by renal failure, impaired lymphatic flow, and increased capillary permeability to proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal papilloma | A warty growth in the larynx, ususally on the vocal cords. Persistent hoarseness is a common symptom. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal papillomatosis | <radiology> most common laryngeal tumour in kids, probably viral, transbronchial spread: uncommonly (<5%) in patients with large, chronic papillomata, and multiple surgical procedures, nodular lung densities, thin-walled cavities (frequently RUL) (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal part of pharynx | The part of the pharynx lying below the aperture of the larynx and behind the larynx; it extends from the vestibule of the larynx to the oesophagus at the level of the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: pars laryngea pharyngis, hypopharynx, laryngeal part of pharynx, laryngeal pharynx. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal pharynx | The part of the pharynx lying below the aperture of the larynx and behind the larynx; it extends from the vestibule of the larynx to the oesophagus at the level of the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: pars laryngea pharyngis, hypopharynx, laryngeal part of pharynx, laryngeal pharynx. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal polyp | A polyp projecting from the surface of one of the vocal cords. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal pouch | A small diverticulum provided with mucous glands extending upward from the ventricle of the larynx between the vestibular fold and the lamina of the thyroid cartilage; it is a vestigial structure, being a much larger structure interdigitating with the neck musculature in some of the great apes where it serves as a resonating chamber. Synonym: sacculus laryngis, appendix ventriculi laryngis, Hilton's sac, laryngeal pouch. Origin: L. Sacculus (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal prominence | The projection on the anterior portion of the neck formed by the thyroid cartilage of the larynx; serves as an external indication of the level of the fifth cervical vertebra. Synonym: prominentia laryngea, Adam's apple, protuberantia laryngea, thyroid eminence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal reflex | <chest medicine, neurology, physiology> The reflex which mediates coughing in response to irritation of the larynx or tracheobronchial tree. Synonym: laryngeal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal sinus | The recess in each lateral wall of the larynx between the vestibular and vocal folds and into which the layrngeal sacculus opens. Synonym: ventriculus laryngis, laryngeal sinus, Morgagni's sinus, Morgagni's ventricle, sinus laryngeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Terminal branch of superior laryngeal nerve (with external branch) conveying sensory fibres to the supraglottic larynx. Synonym: ramus internus nervi laryngei superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| oesophageal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Supply motor and sensory fibres to cervical oesophagus on right side and to cervical and upper thoracic oesophagus on left. Synonym: rami oesophagei nervi laryngei recurrentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis, laryngeal | Tuberculosis involving the larynx, producing ulceration of the vocal cords and laryngeal mucosa. It is commonly attended by hoarseness, cough, pain on swallowing, and haemoptysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| external branch of superior laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Terminal branch of superior laryngeal nerve (with internal laryngeal nerve) supplying motor innervation to cricothyroid muscle. Synonym: ramus externus nervi laryngei superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fold of laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The slight fold of mucosa in the piriform recess of the pharynx that encloses the superior laryngeal nerve. Synonym: plica nervi laryngei, fold of laryngeal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fold of superior laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The slight fold of mucosa in the piriform recess of the pharynx that encloses the superior laryngeal nerve. Synonym: plica nervi laryngei, fold of laryngeal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| laryngeal |
The laryngeals were three consonant sounds that appear in most current reconstructions of the Proto-Indo-European language. The theory was first proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure in 1879; however, it did not begin to achieve any general acceptance until Hittite was discovered and slowly deciphered in the mid-20th century. ...
