AbstractExamination of the larynx is neglected as a regular part of the physical examination by many physicians, largely because of difficulties inherent in the angled-mirror technique of visualizing this area. Simple, relatively inexpensive right-angle telescopes especially designed for laryngoscopy are now available to facilitate this examination. In one study, abnormalities were found in 17 percent of consecutive asymptomatic patients receiving laryngoscopy. This procedure has an important role as a screening procedure and as a diagnostic aid in the workup of patients with laryngeal symptoms. The technique can be readily learned and used in everyday medical practice.
