Diagnosis and Treatment

• Symptoms include hoarseness, and if the nodule is large, it may cause breathing difficulties
• Treatment is surgical, using endoscopy and laser techniques
• The patient requires voice therapy exercises before and after the procedure

Diagnosis and Treatment

• Laryngospasm is a temporary contraction of the vocal cords that can be treated, making it difficult to speak or breathe for a short period
• Effective treatment depends on accurate diagnosis
• Therapy includes voice exercises to aid in recovery
• Multiple sessions may be required for improvement
• The condition can be treated with Botox injections, either under local anesthesia in the clinic or general anesthesia in the operating room
• Patients need to repeat Botox injections approximately every six months or when bothersome symptoms reappear

Diagnosis and Treatment

• Diagnosis is performed using endoscopy
• A CT scan or MRI may be required, depending on the tumor size
• A biopsy is necessary for further examination
• Treatment depends on the cancer stage
• Treatment options include tumor removal via endoscopy, radiation therapy, or, in rare cases, total laryngectomy
• After treatment, regular follow-up visits are essential

Accurate Diagnosis

• Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)
• It leads to hoarseness, breathing difficulties, and airway obstruction if the tumor is large
• These tumors rarely develop into cancerous growths
• Tumors are removed using laser surgery
• Regular procedures may be required, as the growth can recur after removal

Diagnosis and Treatment

Hoarseness is diagnosed through:

• Medical history assessment and voice evaluation
• Laryngoscopy and vocal cord examination in the clinic
• Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis

Diagnosis and Treatment

Symptoms of Vocal Cord Paralysis Include:

• Breathy voice, hoarseness, noisy breathing, weakened voice, choking or coughing while swallowing
• Frequent need to breathe while speaking, inability to speak loudly, or weak cough

Causes of Vocal Cord Paralysis:

• Nerve injury after thyroid or neck surgery
• Viral infections, stroke, or brain damage affecting nerve signals to the larynx

Diagnosis Includes:

• Medical history review, voice assessment, laryngoscopy, and laryngeal electromyography
• In some cases, MRI, CT scans, or blood tests may be required to determine the cause 

Treatment Options:

• Voice therapy sessions and vocal exercises
• Injection medialization, structural implants, nerve reinnervation
• Laser surgery to remove part of the vocal cord for airway widening

Diagnosis and Treatment

Symptoms Include:

• Hoarseness, cough, chest pain, choking sensation
• Feeling of a foreign body in the throat, difficulty swallowing, and heartburn

Diagnosis:

• Medical history assessment and laryngoscopy to examine the larynx and vocal cords

 Treatment:

• Lifestyle and dietary modifications
• Medication as prescribed
• In severe cases, consultation with a gastroenterologist is recommended

Diagnosis and Treatment

A congenital or acquired airway narrowing below the vocal cords (subglottis).

Symptoms include:

• Breathing difficulties
• Noisy breathing 

Diagnosis:

• Medical history assessment
• Laryngoscopy to examine the airway

Treatment Options:

• Laser surgery combined with balloon dilation to widen the airway
• In severe cases, open airway reconstruction or resection of the narrowed segment may be required

Turbinate enlargement occurs due to chronic nasal allergies.

Diagnosis:

• Medical history assessment
• Nasal endoscopy

Treatment:

• Initial treatment with medications
• If symptoms persist, turbinate reduction surgery is performed
• Regular follow-up visits are required

Diagnosis:

• Medical history assessment
• Imaging (X-rays or CT scan)

Treatment: 

• Fracture reduction can be performed under local anesthesia in the clinic or under general anesthesia in the operating room
• The patient requires at least two follow-up visits after the procedure

Causes:

• A common cause is an injury or trauma to the small blood vessels in the nasal lining
• If no clear source is identified, a CT scan may be required to determine the cause
• In some cases, nosebleeds may be linked to blood pressure issues or clotting disorders

 Treatment:

• In the clinic, treatment options include cauterization of the blood vessels or nasal packing for 48 hours in cases of severe bleeding

• This procedure helps drain accumulated fluid in the middle ear or prevent fluid buildup. The tubes allow air to flow in and out of the middle ear, balancing pressure and preventing fluid retention.
• Small plastic tubes are inserted through the eardrum, and they naturally fall out on their own within 6 to 18 months.
• For children, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia as a same-day surgery, while for adults, it can be done in the clinic under local anesthesia.
• Follow-up appointments with the doctor are scheduled within 2 to 4 weeks after surgery to check the tube’s position and function.
• Hearing improvement can be immediate if fluid buildup was the cause, but in cases of speech or learning difficulties, improvement may take several weeks or months.

This procedure is performed to drain accumulated fluid in the middle ear or to prevent fluid buildup. The tubes allow airflow to and from the middle ear, helping to balance pressure and prevent further fluid accumulation.

Treatment involves placing small plastic tubes through the eardrum, which naturally fall out on their own within 6 to 18 months.

For children, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia as a same-day surgery, while for adults, it can be done in the clinic under local anesthesia.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled within 2 to 4 weeks after surgery to check the tube’s position and function.
Hearing improvement may be immediate if fluid buildup was the cause. However, if the patient had speech or learning difficulties, improvement may take several weeks or months.

• Curettage (scraping) is used for thorough adenoid removal
• Thermal suction allows for quick adenoid removal, reducing surgery time, anesthesia duration, and bleeding risk
• The new Coblation technique minimizes pain, causes less bleeding, and shortens the procedure time

• A peritonsillar abscess is a bacterial infection that develops due to untreated strep throat or tonsillitis, forming a pus-filled pocket near one of the tonsils
• Treatment involves draining the pus under local anesthesia and administering antibiotics and pain relievers
• In severe cases, an incision is made to drain the abscess in the operating room under general anesthesia, followed by antibiotic treatment
• Tonsillectomy may be required after recovery

• Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a congenital condition that restricts tongue movement
• The release procedure can be performed in the clinic or under general anesthesia in the operating room

Diagnosis and Treatment

Treatment depends on the cause and severity of hearing loss.

Available treatments include:

• Wax Removal: Treatable blockages can be removed using suction or a small looped instrument
• Surgical Procedures: Used for conditions affecting the eardrum or hearing bones
• Hearing Aids: Beneficial for sensorineural hearing loss

Removing the Treatable Calcologenic Conditioner or using a small tool that has a loop at its end Surgical procedures: This includes eardrum distortions or hearing bones.
