[Laryngeal radionecrosis as a complication of radiotherapy].
The laryngeal cartilage radionecrosis is an infrequent treatment complication with radiotherapy of head and neck tumoral lesions and it can present since a few months to many years later its application. We present the different evolution of two patients with laryngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy who developed laryngeal radionecrosis. The differential diagnosis with the recidiva and the primitive tumoral lesion are very important, as well as the diagnosis difficulty and its treatment.
