| Popis: | In most cases, examination of laryngopharyngeal tumors is made by clinical means, limited to external palpation of the neck and direct and indirect laryngoscopy. Upon evaluation of the findings thus obtained the choice and extent of therapy are based. If the choice be surgical excision, the pathologic examination is usually limited to confirmation of the biopsy or, at most, sample checks of the margins of excision which appear grossly close to tumor. In 1922, Coutard (3) introduced the use of lateral films of the neck, devising a technic which made apparent details of the soft-tissue structures of the laryngopharynx. This roentgenologic procedure was further developed during the subsequent years and the information thus obtainable is summarized in the classic works of Baclesse (1) and Leborgne (5). It was Leborgne (6) who thought of utilizing tomography to demonstrate frontal sections of the laryngopharyngeal structures. These studies have allowed the development of a topographic roentgenologic approach w... |
