A clicking larynx.
A case of a "clicking", painful act of deglutition is presented. Overriding of the hyoid bone and the thyroid lamina is thought to have been the mechanism. A partial thyroid laminectomy performed sub-mucoperichondrially effected an immediate and, at present, lasting cure. No similar case could be found in the literature after extensive searches.
