  1. Fulltext Delayed complication of radiotherapy: laryngeal fibrosis and bilateral vocal cord immobility

    PMID: 16379198
    Radiotherapy is the accepted treatment for early laryngeal carcinomas with the advantage of voice preservation. It is however, not without complications. We report a case of bilateral vocal cord immobility 15 years after radiotherapy. This appears to be due to ankylosis of cricoarytenoid joint and fibrosis of the larynx.

    INTRODUCTION: The concept of neck dissection (ND) in the management armamentarium of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has evolved throughout the years. Nowadays, ND becomes more functional.

    METHODOLOGY: A retrospective study of 865 patients was performed at Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek Hospital to investigate the feasibility of selective ND (SND). All patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx and larynx who received primary radiation and underwent salvage ND were included in the study.

    RESULT: A total of 29 NDs were analyzed. In 17 neck sides, viable metastases were found (58%), whereas in the other 12 specimens there were no viable metastases. In 16 of the 17 necks (94%), the metastases were located either in level II, III, or IV or in a combination of these 3 levels. Level V was involved in only 1 case (6%).

    CONCLUSION: It is well justified to perform a salvage SND (levels II, III, and IV) for pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinoma after primary radiation. In carefully selected cases of supraglottic and oropharyngeal carcinoma, a superselective ND also appears as an efficient option.
