Abstract
The timely detection and treatment of chronic hypertrophic laryngitis is a task of particular importance, it is the main link in the prevention of malignant diseases of the larynx. The traditional diagnostic methods do not always provide proper assessment of the state of the larynx in chronic laryngitis and the dynamics of recovery processes during therapeutic activities. Therefore, the combined use of modern methods of examination of the larynx condition is getting more and more important. Based on examination of 15 men and 5 women aged from 24 to 72 years previously treated for chronic hypertrophic laryngitis, it has been shown that video stroboscopy, autofluorescence diagnostics, NBI endoscopy, and cytological examination of swabs from the affected vocal fold areas are methods of early diagnostics of chronic hyperplastic laryngitis, they can complement each other not only in the event of diagnostic difficulties, but in the assessment of efficacy of treatment and rehabilitation measures aimed at restoration of laryngeal functions and prevention of the development of tumors. The data obtained made it possible to clarify the nature of the hypertrophic changes in the mucous membrane of the vocal folds and thereby confidently interpret the clinical picture of the disease in the examined patients as a manifestation of chronic hyperplastic laryngitis with leukokeratosis and leukoplakia.
