Abstract

Introduction: Reinke’s edema, also known as polypoid degeneration of vocal cords, is a bilateral, symmetrical swelling of the whole of the membranous part of the vocal cords. Surgery has been the mainstay of treatment for Reinke’s edema. Thus, patients are often left with practically no non-invasive treatment option. Case Summary: This is the case of a 40-year-old male, teacher, who presented with hoarseness of voice for 1 year and opted for homeopathic treatment when he was advised surgery. A rapid improvement in the symptoms, as well as significant objective improvement as confirmed with video laryngoscopy. The results were seen within 3 months of individualized homeopathic treatment. Oneyear follow-up revealed complete resolution of edema in both vocal cords. This case report shows a promising, non-invasive intervention option for such cases, wherein radical surgery and consequent prolonged voice therapy could be avoided.

顺势疗法治疗非吸烟者赖因克水肿一例报告

Reinke水肿，又称声带息肉样变性，是一种双侧声带全膜部对称性肿胀。手术一直是治疗赖因克水肿的主要方法。因此，患者通常几乎没有非侵入性治疗选择。病例总结:这是一个40岁男性教师的病例，他表现出声音嘶哑1年，当他被建议手术时选择顺势疗法治疗。症状迅速改善，并经视频喉镜检查证实有明显的客观改善。结果在个体化顺势疗法治疗3个月内可见。随访一年，双声带水肿完全消退。本病例报告显示了一个有希望的，非侵入性的干预选择，其中根治性手术和随之而来的长期语音治疗可以避免。本病例报告可在印度顺势疗法研究杂志上找到:https://www.ijrh.org/journal/vol16/iss4/7©2022印度顺势疗法研究杂志|由数字共享(Bepress) 308在线托管
