SummarySummary Pulmonary tuberculosis is still a common disease in the developing countries of the world. One hundred patients with pulmonary tuberculosis showed laryngeal involvement in 37 patients. The posterior part of the larynx followed by the epiglottis are the commonest sites to be involved in the laryx. Ulcerative lesions and perichondritis. so common in prechemotherapeutic days, were not seen.

ABSTRACT Aim To discuss a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with pneumothorax with subcutaneous emphysema presenting with stridor due to laryngeal edema with relevant review of literature. Background Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition that has been described in healthy individuals following Valsalva manoeuvre, excessive and prolonged cough or emesis. Laryngeal involvement in these cases has not been reported so far. Case description We present an interesting case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with pneumothorax with pneumopericardium and cervicofacial emphysema with suspected ingestion of foreign body. In view of stridor due to laryngeal edema tracheostomy was done. No obvious cause for the air leak was found on further investigations. The foreign body sensation could have led to oral provocative manoeuvres by the patient causing increased intra-alveolar pressures and air leak. Conclusion Spontaneous pneumomediastinum with cervicofacial emphysema with pneumopericardium with laryngeal involvement is very rare. Tracheostomy is essential in case of airway compromise. A thorough evaluation for the underlying condition is essential to prevent further air leak. Clinical significance In a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with airway compromise due to involvement of the larynx, tracheostomy is essential to secure the airway and could also help in resolution of emphysema.

<p>The lesions of pemphigus in the larynx have been reported as case reports. However, the frequency with which it occurs is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of laryngeal involvement in pemphigus vulgaris and to examine the laryngeal lesions and the treatment in detail. The databases searched were PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Google scholar. The involvement of larynx in patients with pemphigus vulgaris is common. The most common parts involved are epiglottis and arytenoids. This study indicates that laryngeal symptoms are common in pemphigus vulgaris. Laryngeal findings must be considered at the beginning of diagnosis for the better management and to prevent life threatening complications.</p>

In 1970, Perrone1 first reported laryngeal obstruction secondary to Candida albicans infection in a newborn. There have been several descriptions of congenital or neonatal infection with C albicans including pustubar dermatitis,2 pneumonia,3 meningitis, and arthritis.4 However, none of these reports noted laryngeal involvement. Recently, laryngitis and esophagitis were described in children with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.5 Adult patients predisposed to invasive candidal infections have had laryngeal involvement; on occasion their initial symptoms were those of upper airway obstruction.6 Infants and newborns with inspiratory stridor are usually evaluated for laryngomalacia, congenital subglottic stenosis, or vocal cord paralysis. Candidal laryngitis presenting as inspiratory stridor has not been well documented in the pediatric literature.
