Epipharyngoscopy

Epipharyngoscopy is a method of examining the pharyngeal mucosa, which is carried out using a special device called an epipharyngoscope. This method is used to diagnose various diseases of the pharynx, such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and others.

An epipharyngoscope is a thin flexible tube that is inserted into the pharynx through the patient's mouth. At the end of the tube there is an eyepiece through which the doctor can see the lining of the throat. There may also be lights on the tube that illuminate the throat, allowing the doctor to better examine its condition.

After inserting the epipharyngoscope into the pharynx, the doctor begins to examine its surface. He can pay attention to the color of the mucous membrane, the presence of ulcers, swelling, redness and other changes. The doctor may also perform a biopsy of mucosal tissue for further examination.

In general, epipharyngoscopy is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the pharynx and allows you to quickly and accurately make a diagnosis.

An epipharyngoscope is a medical device that is used to examine and examine the posterior wall of the pharynx and nasopharynx. This inspection method has important diagnostic potential, since GH dysfunction is very often associated with pathological changes in the larynx and trachea.

Epipharyngoscopy is sometimes called posterior laryngoscopy, although the endoscopic examination of GH is otolaryngoscopy. GH endoscopy has the following features:

The mobility of the rx is ensured by the muscular apparatus, when relaxed the gx takes a “normal” position. 1. The GC is mobile during endoscopy, so it is difficult to fix it. 2. During pharyngoscopy, damage or tearing of the uvula of the stomach and papillae of the uvula is possible. This factor makes visualization extremely difficult. Normally, it should be free and not contract. 3. This study indirectly assesses the condition of the thyroid gland; its hyperfunction in children can be manifested by changes in skin color and thyroid hormone above it, the appearance of hoarseness and difficulty swallowing. To differentiate these symptoms, laryngoscopy is performed using a device with a video surveillance function. 4. This procedure is invasive. Written informed consent from the patient must be obtained before execution. This is standardly carried out during any study accompanied by damage to the patient’s mucous membranes. 5. There is a risk of perforation of the tongue, a complication caused by burns of the esophagus. 6. When performing manipulations, anaphylactic shock, otitis media, and acute stenosis of the thyroid tube may occur.
