| description | A case of a 21 year old gentleman is described, with no
history of preceding trauma, presenting with intermittent
dysphagia to solids and fluids for 4 years. Neck examination
at rest was normal. However on deep inspiration, the right
thyroid lamina protrudes or becomes more prominent. The
patient is able to return the larynx to its normal position
with manual manipulation. Laryngeal examination with
fibreoptic scope during rest and deep breath shows gross
rotation of the laryngeal structures for more than 60° on
deep breath, with the vocal cords axis rotated to the left
side. Management was conservative. |
