Abstract
We present a case of laryngeal granulomas in a 37-year-old pregnant woman. She complained of a change in voice quality, foreign body sensation, and recumbent dyspnea since the 6th month of pregnancy. She was found to have laryngeal granulomas in the posterior commissure, which obstructed her supraglottic space. We removed the larger granuloma under local anaesthesia at 7 months of pregnancy. After that excision, her dyspnea improved but the other symptoms remained. A month after the delivery, the other granuloma was removed with laryngomicrosurgery under general anaesthesia. In this case, the growth of laryngeal granulomas seemed to be related to the pregnancy.
