title: [Unilateral prolapse of the laryngeal pouch due to the deformity of the thyroid cartilage].
abstract: Our examination included 10 male patients in the age of 40-72. Microlaryngoscopic examination revealed smooth prominence of the larynx vestibule always on the left side concealing partly the vocal fold but with its mobility preserved. Our greatest attention was focused on CT since we expected possible explanation of the asymmetry of the larynx vestibule. That examination disclosed: left-side shift of the thyroid cartilage lamina to the larynx, elongation of the thyroid cartilage lamina and measurements of interlaminar angles revealed contraction of that angle to the value 60-78.
