title: [Diagnosis of para-laryngeal tumors using computerized tomography].
abstract: Computed tomography of the larynx is generally recommended for carcinoma, laryngoceles, and laryngeal trauma. On the basis of several case examples, in which dysphagia and hoarseness were caused by a submucosal thickening of the arytenoid and aryepiglottic fold, the authors propose that these unclear symptoms also be regarded as indication for larynx CT. It must be borne in mind that the underlying process may be one of the rare tumors in the space between the thyroid cartilage and elastic cone, often called the paraglottic space (or paralaryngeal space, by many American authors).
