#Examination of the Larynx.#--For this purpose the examiner requires a
laryngeal reflector with forehead attachment, one or two sizes of
laryngeal mirror, a tongue cloth, and the means of obtaining good
illumination. The source of light should be by preference placed
opposite to and on the same horizontal plane as the patient's left
ear. The forehead reflector is placed over the observer's right eye so
that he may look through the central aperture, while at the same time
he throws a good circle of light into the patient's mouth. The patient
should be seated with the head thrown slightly back; the tongue is
protruded and covered with the cloth, and held lightly but firmly
between the finger and thumb of the left hand. A full-sized mirror,
warmed so as to prevent the condensation of the breath upon it, is
inserted with the reflecting surface turned downwards, and pressed
gently against the soft palate so as to push that structure upwards.
The handle of the instrument is carried towards the left angle of the
mouth, and by slightly altering the plane of the reflecting surface of
the mirror the different parts of the larynx are in turn brought into
view. The movements of the vocal cords should be observed during both
respiration and phonation, and for the latter purpose the patient
should be directed to phonate the vowel sound "eh."
In the upper part of the mirror the epiglottis usually comes first
into view: it is of a pinkish yellow colour, and presents a thin,
sharply defined free margin. In front of the epiglottis are the median
and lateral glosso-epiglottic folds passing forwards to the base of
the tongue, and enclosing the two valleculae. Extending backwards and
downwards from the lateral margins of the epiglottis are the two
ary-epiglottic folds which reach the arytenoid cartilages posteriorly.
Between the two layers of mucous membrane of which the ary-epiglottic
folds are composed are the cartilages of Wrisberg and Santorini. In
the interval between the two arytenoid cartilages is the
inter-arytenoid fold of mucous membrane, which forms the upper margin
of the posterior wall of the larynx. The upper aperture of the larynx
is bounded by the epiglottis in front, the ary-epiglottic folds
laterally, and the inter-arytenoid fold behind. In the interior of the
larynx the vocal folds (true vocal cords) form the most prominent
features, being conspicuous as two flat white bands, which form the
boundary of the rima glottidis or glottic chink. Above each true cord,
and parallel with it, the ventricular fold or false cord is evident as
a pink fold of mucous membrane. Between the ventricular fold and the
vocal fold on each side is a linear interval, which indicates the
entrance to the ventricle of the larynx.
_Direct Laryngoscopy._--The larynx may also be examined by the direct
method by means of Jackson's or Killian's spatulae. After cocainisation
of the base of the tongue, the soft palate, and the posterior surface
of the epiglottis, the patient is seated upon a low stool and his head
supported by an assistant. The light is obtained from a small lamp in
the handle of the instrument or reflected from a forehead mirror. The
spatula is warmed and introduced under the guidance of the eye, its
end being passed over the epiglottis, and pressure exerted so as to
draw the latter structure forward. In children a general anaesthetic is
required, and the examination is made with the head hanging over the
end of the table. Killian's "suspension laryngoscopy" affords the best
method of examining the larynx in young children.
_Tracheoscopy and Bronchoscopy._--Direct examination of the trachea
and larger bronchi may be carried out in a similar way, by passing
through the mouth and larynx metal tubes, after the method devised by
Killian. This procedure is described as direct upper tracheoscopy and
bronchoscopy. The examination may also be made through a tracheotomy
wound--direct lower tracheoscopy. These procedures have proved of
great service in the recognition of foreign bodies in the lower
air-passages, and in their extraction; in the diagnosis of stenosis of
the trachea, and of aneurysm pressing on the trachea.
CARDINAL SYMPTOMS OF LARYNGEAL AFFECTIONS
The cardinal symptoms of laryngeal affections are interference with
the voice and with respiration, and pain on swallowing. Laryngeal
cough of a croupy or barking character may be present, and is usually
associated with a lesion of the posterior wall or inter-arytenoid
fold. Haemoptysis is seldom of laryngeal origin, and unless the
bleeding spot is visible in the mirror, the source of the bleeding is
much more likely to be in the bronchi or lungs.
#Interference with the Voice.#--_Hoarseness_ results from some
affection of the vocal cords: it may be simple laryngitis, some
specific cause such as tuberculosis or syphilis, or some condition
which prevents the proper approximation of the cords, as in tumours
and certain forms of paralysis. Huskiness of voice occurring in a
middle-aged person, lasting for a considerable period, and unattended
by any other local or constitutional symptom, should always arouse
suspicion of malignant disease, and calls for an examination of the
larynx. Should this reveal a congested condition of one vocal cord,
associated with some infiltration, and should the mobility of the cord
be impaired, suspicion of the malignant character of the affection is
still further increased. The hoarseness in these cases is sometimes
greater than the local appearances would seem to account for.
_Aphonia_, or loss of voice, sudden in origin, and sometimes
transient, occurs more often in women, and is usually functional or
hysterical in nature. Although the patient is unable to speak, she is
quite able to cough. In these cases there is a bilateral paralysis of
the adductor muscles, so that the cords do not approximate on
attempted phonation; or the internal tensors may be paretic, leaving
an elliptical space between the cords on attempted phonation. If the
arytenoideus muscle alone is paralysed, a triangular interval is left
between the cords posteriorly. There is no inflammation or other
evidence of local disease.
The _treatment_ of functional aphonia should be general and local;
tonics such as strychnin, iron, and arsenic should be administered;
the intra-laryngeal application of electricity usually effects a
sudden cure. In obstinate cases the use of the shower-bath and cold
douching, the administration of chloroform, and even hypnotism may be
tried.
An examination of the lungs should be made in all cases of adductor
paralysis, as this functional condition may be met with in early
pulmonary tuberculosis.
#Dysphagia.#--Pain on swallowing, due to causes originating in the
larynx, is usually associated with ulceration of the mucous membrane
covering the epiglottis, ary-epiglottic folds, or arytenoid
cartilages, that is, in connection with those parts with which the
food is brought into direct contact.
The most frequent causes of such ulceration are tuberculosis,
syphilis, and malignant disease. The differential diagnosis is often
difficult from local inspection alone. The Wasserman test, the
previous history, the state of the lungs and sputum, and the results
of anti-syphilitic treatment may clear it up.
The _treatment_ of dysphagia, apart from that of the disease
associated with it, resolves itself into the use of local sedative
applications, such as a weak cocain or eucain spray before meals,
insufflations of acetate of morphin and boracic acid, and the use of a
menthol spray. One of the best anaesthetic applications is orthoform
powder, introduced by means of the ordinary laryngeal insufflator. Its
action is more prolonged than that of any of the others, often
lasting for from twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Injection of the superior laryngeal nerve with a 60 per cent. solution
of alcohol has been found satisfactory where other means have failed.
#Interference with Respiration.#--It is only necessary here to refer
to such causes of interference with respiration as may call for
surgical treatment.
The chief forms of _laryngitis_ to be considered in connection with
the production of dyspnoea, are membranous or diphtheritic laryngitis
and acute inflammatory oedema.
#Diphtheria of the larynx# is described on p. 110, Volume I.
#Acute Oedema of the Larynx.#--Oedema of the larynx may be
inflammatory or non-inflammatory in origin. The former is the more
common, and may arise in connection with disease of the larynx, such
as tuberculosis or syphilis, or it may be secondary to acute infective
conditions at the base of the tongue, or in the fauces or pharynx;
more rarely it results from infective conditions of the cellular
tissue or glands of the neck. The non-inflammatory form may be a local
dropsy in renal or cardiac disease, may be induced by pressure on the
large cervical veins, and in some cases it appears to follow the
administration of potassium iodide in the treatment of laryngeal
affections.
The oedema consists of an exudation into the loose submucous areolar
tissue, which may be of a simple serous character or may
become sero-purulent. The situations mainly involved are the
glosso-epiglottic fossae between the base of the tongue and the
epiglottis, the ary-epiglottic folds (Fig. 287), and the false cords.
If the infective process commences in front of the epiglottis this
structure becomes swollen and rigid, and often livid in
colour--points which are readily discerned on examination with the
mirror, or even without its aid in some cases. The patient complains
of great pain on swallowing, and has the sensation of a foreign body
in the throat. Should the oedema spread to the ary-epiglottic folds,
either from the interior of the larynx or from the fauces and pharynx,
dyspnoea becomes a prominent and grave symptom. The patient may
rapidly become cyanosed, the inspirations assume a noisy, stridulous
character, and great distress and imminent suffocation supervene. If
laryngoscopic examination is possible, the ary-epiglottic folds may be
found greatly swollen and the upper aperture of the larynx partly
occluded. Digital examination may reveal the swollen condition of the
parts. The urine should be examined for albumin and tube casts.
[Illustration: FIG. 287.--Larynx from case of sudden death, due to
oedema of ary-epiglottic folds, _a_, _a_.
(From drawing lent by Dr. Logan Turner.)]
_Treatment._--In the milder forms, the sucking of ice, the inhalation
of medicated steam, or spraying with a solution of adrenalin, and the
application of poultices to the neck, may suffice to relieve the
condition. Scarification of the epiglottis and ary-epiglottic folds
with a knife, followed by free bleeding, may give complete relief.
Diaphoretic and purgative treatment should not be neglected. If
suffocation is imminent, tracheotomy or intubation is called for.
In performing #tracheotomy#, a roller pillow is placed beneath the
neck to put the parts on the stretch, and an incision is carried from
the lower margin of the cricoid cartilage downwards for about 2
inches. The sterno-hyoids and sterno-thyreoids are separated; the
cross branch between the anterior jugular veins, and any other veins
met with, secured with forceps before being divided; and the trachea
exposed by dividing transversely the layer of deep fascia which passes
from the cricoid to the isthmus of the thyreoid. If the isthmus cannot
be pulled downwards sufficiently, it may be divided in the middle
line. All active bleeding having been arrested, the larynx is steadied
by inserting a sharp hook into the lower edge of the cricoid
cartilage, and the trachea is opened by thrusting a short,
broad-bladed knife through the exposed rings. The back of the knife
should be directed downwards, and the opening in the trachea enlarged
upwards sufficiently to admit the tracheotomy tube. In children it is
sometimes found necessary to divide the cricoid for this purpose
(_laryngo-tracheotomy_). The slit in the trachea is then opened up
with a tracheal dilator, and the outer tube inserted and fixed in
position with tapes. The inner tube is not fixed, so that it may be
coughed out if it becomes blocked, and that it may be frequently
removed and cleaned by the nurse. The tube should be discarded as
soon as the patient is able to breathe by the natural channel.
_Intubation of the Larynx._--This procedure is employed as a
substitute for tracheotomy, especially in children suffering from
membranous and oedematous forms of laryngitis. As experience is
required to carry out the manipulations successfully, and as its use
is attended with certain risks which necessitate that the surgeon
should be constantly within call, the operation is more adapted to
hospital than to private practice. O'Dwyer's apparatus is that most
generally employed. The operation consists in introducing through the
glottis, by means of a specially constructed guide, a small metal or
vulcanite tube furnished with a shoulder which rests against the false
vocal cords. The part of the tube which passes beyond the true vocal
cords is bulged to prevent it being coughed out.
In an emergency a gum-elastic catheter with a terminal aperture may be
passed, as recommended by Macewen and Annandale.
#Bilateral Abductor Paralysis.#--Both recurrent nerves may be
interfered with by such conditions as enlargement of the thyreoid,
tumour of the oesophagus, or intra-thoracic tumour, or by injury in
the course of operations for goitre. A gradually increasing
inspiratory dyspnoea is developed, which at first is only noticed on
exertion, when the desire for air is increased; later it becomes
permanent, and even during sleep the stridor may be marked.
Suffocation may become imminent. When the larynx is examined with the
mirror, the vocal cords are seen to lie near each other, and on
inspiration their approximation is still greater.
The _treatment_ is directed to removing the cause of pressure on the
nerves. In the majority of cases tracheotomy is called for and the
tube must be worn permanently.
#Syphilitic Affections of the Larynx.#--_Secondary syphilitic_
manifestations in the form of congestion of the mucous membrane,
mucous patches, or condylomata, are occasionally met with, and give
rise to a huskiness of the voice. These conditions usually disappear
rapidly under anti-syphilitic treatment.
In _tertiary syphilis_, whether inherited or acquired, the most common
lesion is a diffuse gummatous infiltration, which tends to go on to
ulceration and to lead to widespread destruction of tissue. It usually
attacks the epiglottis, the arytenoids, and the ary-epiglottic folds,
but may spread and implicate all the structures of the larynx.
Syphilitic ulcers are usually single, deep, and crateriform; the base
is covered with a dirty white secretion, and the surrounding mucosa
presents an angry red appearance. When the perichondrium becomes
invaded, necrosis of cartilage is liable to occur.
Hoarseness, dyspnoea, and, when the epiglottis is involved, dysphagia,
are the most prominent symptoms.
Cicatricial contraction leading to stenosis may ensue, and cause
persistent dyspnoea.
The usual _treatment_ for tertiary syphilis is employed, but on
account of the tendency of potassium iodide to increase the oedema of
the larynx, this drug must at first be used with caution. Intubation
or tracheotomy may be called for on account of sudden urgent dyspnoea
or of increasing stenosis. The stenosis is afterwards treated by
gradual dilatation with bougies, which, if a tracheotomy has been
performed, may conveniently be passed from below upwards. An annular
stricture causing occlusion may be excised, and the ends of the
trachea sutured.
#Tuberculosis.#--The larynx is seldom the primary seat of tubercle. In
the majority of cases the patient suffers from pulmonary phthisis, and
the laryngeal mucous membrane is infected from the sputum. The disease
may take the form of isolated nodules in the vicinity of the arytenoid
cartilages, of superficial ulceration of the vocal cords and adjacent
parts, or of a diffuse tuberculous infiltration of all the structures
bounding the upper aperture of the larynx. The mucous membrane becomes
oedematous and semi-translucent. The nodules coalesce and break down,
leading to the formation of multiple superficial ulcers. The parts
adjacent to the ulcers are pale in colour. Perichondritis may occur
and be followed by necrosis of cartilage and the formation of
abscesses in the submucous tissue of the larynx or in the cellular
tissue of the neck.
The voice becomes hoarse or may be lost, there is persistent and
intractable cough, and in some cases dyspnoea supervenes. When the
epiglottis is involved there is pain and difficulty in swallowing.
In the presence of advanced pulmonary phthisis the treatment is
chiefly palliative, but if the disease in the lungs is amenable to
treatment, and the laryngeal lesion limited, the electric cautery may
be used. Tracheotomy may be called for on account of urgent dyspnoea.
#Tumours.#--The commonest form of simple tumour met with in the larynx
is the _papilloma_. It may occur at any age, and is comparatively
common in children. It most frequently springs from the vocal cords
and adjacent parts, forming a soft, pedunculated, cauliflower-like
mass of a pink or red colour, which may form a fringe hanging from
the edge of the cord (Fig. 288), or may spread until it nearly fills
the larynx. In children, the growths are frequently multiple and show
a marked tendency to recur after removal. They sometimes disappear
spontaneously about puberty.
[Illustration: FIG. 288.--Papilloma of Larynx.
(From drawing lent by Dr. Logan Turner.)]
The most prominent symptoms are hoarseness, aphonia, and dyspnoea,
which in children may be paroxysmal.
The _treatment_ consists in removing the growth by means of laryngeal
forceps or the snare, under cocain and adrenalin anaesthesia. For the
removal of multiple papillomata, the removal of the growths through
Killian's tubes or by suspension laryngoscopy has now taken the place
of the external operation in children. In a certain number of cases it
has been found that the tumour disappears after the larynx has been
put at rest by the operation of tracheotomy.
#Cancer.#--_Epithelioma_ of the larynx is almost always primary, and
usually occurs in males between the ages of forty and seventy. It is
important to distinguish between those cases in which the growth first
appears in the interior of the larynx--on the vocal cords, the
ventricular bands, or in the sub-glottic cavity (_intrinsic
cancer_)--and those in which it attacks the epiglottis, the
ary-epiglottic folds, or the posterior surface of the cricoid
cartilage (_extrinsic cancer_).
_Clinical Features._--In the great majority of cases of _intrinsic_
cancer the first and for many months the only symptom is huskiness of
the voice, which may go on to complete aphonia before any other
symptoms manifest themselves. When the larynx is examined in an early
stage, the presence of a small warty growth on the posterior part of
one vocal cord, or a papillary fringe extended along the free edge of
the cord, should raise the suspicion of malignancy, especially if the
affected cord is congested and moves less freely than its fellow.
Early diagnosis is essential in intrinsic cancer, and the absence of
enlargement of lymph glands, or of foetor and cachexia, must in no way
influence the surgeon against making a diagnosis of malignancy. The
impaired mobility of the affected cord is an important point in
determining the malignant nature of the growth.
Intrinsic cancer may spread over the upper boundaries of the larynx
and become _extrinsic_, or the disease may be extrinsic from the
outset.
In cases of _extrinsic_ cancer the early symptoms are much more
marked, pain and difficulty in swallowing, and the secretion of
frothy, blood-stained mucus being among the earliest manifestations.
The cervical glands are infected early, sometimes even before there
are any symptoms of laryngeal disease. Difficulty of breathing is also
an early symptom on account of the growth obstructing the entrance of
air. Tracheotomy may therefore be called for. In other respects the
course and terminations are similar to those of intrinsic cancer.
When the growth spreads into the tissues of the neck the patient's
sufferings are greatly increased. The oesophagus may be invaded with
resulting dysphagia; the nerve-trunks may be pressed upon, causing
intense neuralgic pains; the lymph glands become infected and break
down, and the growth fungates through the skin. The general health
deteriorates and death results, usually from septic pneumonia set up
by the passage of food particles into the air-passages, from
absorption of toxins, or from haemorrhage. The duration of this form of
the disease varies from one to three years.
The _treatment_ consists in removing the growth. In early and limited
forms of intrinsic cancer laryngo-fissure (thyreotomy) gives good
results; in more advanced cases the entire larynx must be
removed--_complete laryngectomy_--and at the same time, or after an
interval, the associated lymph glands are removed from the anterior
triangle of the neck on both sides.
In cases in which excision is impracticable, the sufferings of the
patient may be alleviated by performing low tracheotomy, and by
feeding with the stomach tube or by nutrient enemata. In some cases
the difficulty of feeding the patient may make it necessary to perform
gastrostomy.
#Sarcoma# of the larynx gives rise to the same symptoms as cancer, and
can seldom be diagnosed from it before operation.
#Foreign Bodies in the Air-Passages.#--Foreign bodies impacted _in the
pharynx_ usually consist of unmasticated pieces of meat or large
tooth-plates, and they occlude both the food and the air-passages,
frequently causing sudden death. They are considered with affections
of the pharynx.
The bodies most frequently impacted _in the larynx_ are small
tooth-plates in the case of adults, and buttons, beads, sweets, coins,
and portions of toys in children. These are drawn from the mouth into
the air-passage during a sudden inspiratory effort, for example while
laughing or sneezing. If the glottis is completely blocked, rapidly
fatal asphyxia ensues. If the obstruction is incomplete, the patient
experiences severe pain, difficulty of breathing, and a terrifying
sensation of being choked. The irritation of the foreign body causes
spasmodic coughing and retching, and may induce spasm of the glottis,
with threatening suffocation.
Small round bodies may lodge in the upper aperture or in one of the
ventricles, and give rise to hoarseness and repeated attacks of
dyspnoea and spasmodic cough. Wherever the body is situated, the
symptoms may suddenly become urgent from its displacement into the
glottis, or from the onset of oedema. The position of the body may
often be ascertained by the use of the X-rays.
_Treatment._--If the symptoms are urgent, laryngotomy, which consists
in opening the larynx below the glottis by dividing the crico-thyreoid
membrane, or tracheotomy must be performed at once, and an attempt
made to remove the foreign body thereafter. In less severe cases in
adults, the throat should be sprayed with cocain, and the larynx
examined with the mirror; in children, the direct method must be
employed. In both instances an attempt should be made to extract the
body by the direct method. As these manipulations are liable to induce
sudden spasm of the glottis, the means of performing tracheotomy must
be at hand. If it is found impossible to remove the body through the
mouth, laryngotomy or tracheotomy should be performed, and the body
extracted through the wound, or pushed up into the pharynx and removed
by this route. In the case of small bodies, a strand of gauze pushed
up from the tracheotomy wound, through the larynx and out of the
mouth, catches the foreign body and carries it out (Walker Downie).
The foreign bodies that are most likely to become impacted _in the
trachea_ are tooth-plates with projecting hooks, and small coins. The
position of the foreign body may be ascertained by the use of
Killian's tracheoscope, or by means of the X-rays. If the body remains
movable in the trachea, it is apt to be displaced when the patient
moves or coughs, and it may be driven up and become impacted in the
glottis, setting up violent attacks of coughing and spasmodic
dyspnoea.
Tracheotomy should be performed at once, and the edges of the tracheal
wound held widely open with retractors, the patient being inverted, or
coughing induced by tickling the mucous membrane with a feather. The
foreign body is usually expelled, but it may be inhaled into one of
the bronchi. One of Killian's tracheal tubes may be introduced
through the tracheotomy wound and the body extracted by means of
suitable forceps.
_Foreign Bodies in the Bronchi._--Rounded objects, which pass through
the larynx, usually drop into one or other of the bronchi, usually the
right, which is the more vertical and slightly the larger. The body
may act as a ball-valve, permitting the escape of air with expiration,
but preventing its entrance on inspiration, with the result that the
portion of lung supplied by the bronchus becomes collapsed. The
physical signs of collapse of a portion or of the whole lung may be
recognised on examination of the chest. In some cases the body is
dislodged and driven up into the larynx, causing severe dyspnoeic
attacks and spasms of coughing. The irritation caused by the foreign
body in the bronchus may set up bronchitis or pneumonia, and abscess
of the lung may supervene. This has frequently followed the entrance
of an extracted tooth into the air-passage, and it may be a
considerable time before pulmonary symptoms arise. Sometimes the tooth
is ultimately coughed up and the symptoms disappear. In some cases the
physical signs closely simulate those of pulmonary phthisis.
The _treatment_ consists in removing the body by the aid of Killian's
or Jackson's tube passed through the mouth. If this is not successful,
low tracheotomy is performed and the tube is passed through the
tracheotomy opening.
