This case report aims to increase awareness of the diagnosis of laryngeal cleft in adult patients and discuss treatment options.
Case report and review of the literature.
We present a case of a 56-year-old male referred for hoarseness and chronic cough that was discovered to have a type 2 laryngeal cleft. He had chronic aspiration, recurrent pneumonia, and a hoarse voice for his entire life. In contrast to most described cases in adults, this patient was successfully treated with an endoscopic approach using absorbable suture.
Laryngeal clefts are uncommon and almost always detected in childhood, making adult laryngeal clefts extremely rare. Endoscopic repair is a feasible and successful treatment option in these cases.
本病例报告旨在提高对成人喉裂诊断的认识，并讨论治疗选择。
病例报告和文献复习。
我们报告了一例 56 岁男性，因声音嘶哑和慢性咳嗽就诊，被发现患有 2 型喉裂。他一生都有慢性吸入、反复肺炎和声音嘶哑。与大多数成人描述的病例不同，该患者成功地接受了内镜下使用可吸收缝线的治疗。
喉裂并不常见，几乎都在儿童时期被发现，因此成人喉裂极为罕见。内镜修复是这些病例的一种可行且成功的治疗选择。
