Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Leech infestation in the larynx is a rare condition with serious implications due to airway obstruction and persistent bleeding. This report presents two cases of dysphonia and hemoptysis caused by laryngeal leeches after consuming contaminated water. Both patients underwent successful removal under general anesthesia using rigid laryngoscopy and 10% lidocaine spray for safe detachment. The cases highlight the importance of prompt diagnosis and effective techniques for managing this rare but potentially hazardous condition.
