Description

This laryngoscopic view demonstrates acute laryngitis, a condition marked by diffuse inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa. The vocal folds appear swollen, thickened, and hyperemic. In some cases, mucous or serous secretions may be seen coating the vocal cords and adjacent structures, contributing to hoarseness and impaired vibration. Such visualization is especially valuable for ENT residents and clinicians learning to differentiate acute inflammatory changes from chronic laryngitis or structural lesions.
