Silicone Stent

Background: Laryngeal paralysis, failure of arytenoid cartilage, and vocal fold abduction are commonly seen in older medium to large breed dogs. Observation of laryngeal function in dogs and cats is performed by transoral visualization. There are a variety of surgical techniques; aspiration pneumonia is the most common complication associated with surgical correction of laryngeal paralysis. The aim of this case series is to report on the placement of a laryngeal silicone stent in seven dogs with laryngeal paralysis and its use as an alternative treatment of respiratory distress caused by laryngeal paralysis and/or its use for laryngeal stenosis as complication of laryngeal paralysis surgery.Case description: Seven dogs presented with either episode of gagging, mild-to-severe inspiratory distress, or cyanosis because of a laryngeal paralysis or laryngeal stenosis. In each case, the laryngeal paralysis was diagnosed by direct laryngoscopy. They were treated with a silicone laryngeal stent (Stening®) that substantially improved the clinical signs. Each dog had a different outcome because of other pathologies; however, the laryngeal pathology was successfully treated with the stent.Conclusion: The placement of the laryngeal stent is an easy technique to learn and practice, it could avoid the lifethreatening complications of the laryngeal paralysis at the acute phase, and it could be a noninvasive and long-term alternative therapy for laryngeal paralysis in dogs. The results in these clinical cases are encouraging for considering the laryngeal stent as a therapeutic alternative. Key words: Canine, Polyneuropathy, Prosthesis, Surgery.

Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid (BMMP) is a rare vesiculobullous disease capable of causing serious ocular and aerodigestive morbidity. The otolaryngologist must not be lulled to complacency by the adjective, benign. A case of complete laryngeal stenosis is presented and the clinical, histological and therapeutic aspects of BMMP are discussed.

Life Threatening

A boy with epidermolysis bullosa developed progressive laryngeal obstruction after age six months, with tracheotomy necessary at age three years. By eight years, the larynx was completely occluded by web and scar. Stenosis recurred repeatedly over the next seven years, three to six months after each corrective procedure, but laryngeal patency has been better-maintained since age 15. Laryngeal stenosis, presumably secondary to epithelial detachment, although a rare complication of epidermolysis bullosa, can be serious and life-threatening.
