    Author: Muranjan SN, Kirtane MV.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2001 Aug; 115(8):660-2. PubMed ID: 11535152.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis, with its varied presentations and numerous complications, is a relatively common disease in developing countries like India. Amongst its many presentations, pulmonary tuberculosis is the commonest. A tubercular laryngeal abscess is an extremely rare entity. We report a 37-year-old male, diagnosed with a tubercular laryngeal abscess which was successfully treated under local anaesthesia by incision and drainage and in whom a tracheostomy could be avoided.
