Abstract
Three cases of post-intubation granuloma of the larynx are presented and a review of the literature is given. The author claims that the lesion of the mucous membrane of the vocal cord which occurs in connection with the insertion of the tracheal tube is essential to the origin of the granuloma. A short period of vocal rest should therefore succeed every intubation in order to diminish the risk of the development of a granuloma. The treatment of the granuloma should be as conservative as possible. Excisions should be carried out with the maximum of caution so that the vocal cord is not damaged.
