DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM FOR LARYNGEAL PATHOLOGY

Аннотация

The treatment of laryngeal diseases requires a multidisciplinary approach. However, choosing the right treatment strategy largely depends on an adequate diagnosis of all nuances of the disease. The similarity of the clinical and endoscopic presentation of laryngeal lesions does not always allow for a definitive diagnosis. In these cases, computed tomography (CT) of the larynx helps. However, it is difficult for clinicians to determine the appropriate CT examination option, including intravenous contrast enhancement, which necessitates the development of guidelines.
