A precise knowledge of anatomy is necessary to allow a correct interpretation of sonographic images when investigating a particular region of the body. The objective of the present study was to establish anatomical landmarks for endosonography of the larynx.
In an experimental study, a total of 32 normal human larynges were examined endosonographically, and the classical landmarks were correlated to horizontal whole-organ sections of the scanned specimens.
All laryngeal specimens showed a similar and reproducible sonoanatomy, which could be verified consistently on corresponding histological cross sections. Anatomical structures readily identified included the laryngeal framework, the vocal ligament, the vocal muscle, the ventricular fold, the preepiglottic and paraglottic space, and the epiglottis.
Due to a reproducible sonoanatomy of the larynx, endosonography might be an interesting complementary tool in the diagnostic investigation of laryngeal lesions such as medium-sized tumors, cysts, laryngoceles, and stenoses.
准确的解剖学知识对于在对身体特定区域进行超声检查时正确解读超声图像是必要的。本研究的目的是为喉内超声检查确定解剖学标志。
在一项实验研究中，对 32 例正常人类喉进行了内超声检查，并将经典标志与扫描标本的水平全器官切片相关联。
所有喉标本均显示出相似且可重复的声像解剖结构，在相应的组织学横切面上可一致验证。易于识别的解剖结构包括喉框架、声带、声带肌、室襞、会厌前和会厌下间隙以及会厌。
由于喉的可重复性声像解剖结构，内超声检查可能是一种有趣的补充工具，可用于诊断中等大小肿瘤、囊肿、喉气囊肿和狭窄等喉病变。
