Abstract
A new system for observation and recording of the laryngeal view has been attained by use of a mcdified oblique-angled type telescope conbined with a powerful light source. The scope can be connected to an ordinary 35mm camera with a motor-drive device, a 16mm cine-camera, or a video-TV camera.
The laryngeal view through the new scope is quite similar with that obtained by an indirect laryngoscopy. The oblique view angle is 70° for better visualization of the area near the anterior commissure of the vocal folds. We could obtain a clear picture of the laryngeal patholgy even in a 5 y-o child without any difficulty. For still photos a slide-type film (ASA 100) was used with no pushing and successful pictures were obtained in full-size.
It was considerd that our tystem is usefull not only for clinical but also for educational purposes.
