  • Title: Paraglottic laryngitis in association with epiglottitis.
    Author: Healy GB, Hyams VJ, Tucker GF.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1985; 94(6 Pt 1):618-21. PubMed ID: 4073741.
    Abstract:
    Infection of the supraglottic larynx is a well-recognized clinical entity in both adults and children. The anatomical relationships of the various components of the larynx have been studied extensively, especially as they relate to the spread of malignant disease. However, the relationship of these spaces and compartments in inflammatory disease has not been heretofore appreciated. This report describes for the first time histologic evidence that infection of the supraglottic larynx may spread to the paraglottic space, thus causing compromise of the glottic region. This potential carries significant implications for planning the appropriate therapeutic measures.
