Background And ObjectivesQualitative laryngoscopic investigations belong to diagnostic routine in laryngology. Nevertheless, quantitative morphometric measurements of intralaryngeal structures have been difficult by now.Study Design/Material And MethodsThe development of a two-point-light projection method for endolaryngeal measurements that works with a double reflecting mirror and green laser light is shown.ResultsThe laser beams that have a distance of exactly 2 mm are very well visible at the surface of laryngeal structures. The technique can be used during a routine videoendoscopic examination.ConclusionIn our opinion this method enables accurate quantitative morphological measurement within the larynx that could be used even in clinical routine. The two-point light projection technique helps to reduce former limitations of endoscopic investigations.Copyright 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
