BMC Med Imaging
November 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Izmir Katip Celebi University, Izmir, Türkiye.
Background: This study aimed to perform a comprehensive morphometric analysis of the epiglottis using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, including the determination of epiglottis dimensions, the investigation of shape variations, and the assessment of their relationship with gender and age.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on high-quality CBCT images from 100 patients, obtained using the NewTom 5G system. In CBCT images, epiglottis thicknesses (right, midline, left) and horizontal angle at three levels (suprahyoid, hyoid, infrahyoid) were measured in axial sections, while the length and vertical angle of epiglottis were measured in midsagittal view.

Objective: To describe the phenotypic characteristics of the epiglottis at rest and their impact on vallecular residue.
Methods: Videofluoroscopic studies (VFSS) were pooled from 2 Laryngology practices, and Image J was used to measure epiglottic anatomic features at rest. Studies were rated by the MBSImp and presence of vallecular residue following swallow of thin and puree boluses.

Department of Anesthesiology, School of Medicine, The Jikei University, Nishi-Shimbashi 3-25-8, Minato-Ku, Tokyo, 105-8461, Japan.
Background: Compared to other intravenous anesthetics, availability of a specific antagonist flumazenil is a clear advantage of remimazolam. We report a patient who could be rapidly woken up when laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were unexpectedly difficult.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old man was scheduled to have resection of a small gingival tumor.

August 2022
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Beypazarı State Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: With the widespread use of drug-induced sleep endoscopy, it has been suggested that epiglottis pathologies are present at high rates in patients with sleep apnea. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of trimming the curled-inward epiglottis as an updated surgical technique in patients with omega epiglottis.
Study Design: Retrospective study.
