“…Cases with readhesion of the anterior glottis after operation have been reported. Hirayama et al 5 performed laryngomicrosurgery in 6 cases with anterior glottic web and 4 cases experienced readhesion of the anterior glottic postoperatively. In order to prevent readhesion after cutting the anterior glottic web, Figi 7 and Adachi 12 suggested skin graft and fibrin coating for the wound after cutting the web.…”

“…Acquired cases would be caused by inflammation and damaged vocal cords due to various factors. [5][6][7] Watanabe et al 6 reported that many cases with acquired glottic webs involved a postoperative factor (44.7%). Figi 7 described cases that did not arise from postoperative causes including infections such as syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy, blastomycosis, rhinoscleroma and infectious granulomas.…”

We experienced a case of anterior glottic web with bilateral vocal cord cancers. The laryngoscopic findings showed milky tumour lesions on bilateral vocal cords and a web-like formation with an adhesion in the anterior commissure. In this case, we performed laryngomicrosurgery to remove the bilateral vocal cord tumours and the anterior glottic web. This case was diagnosed as bilateral glottic carcinoma (laryngeal carcinoma TNM classification: pT1bN0M0) with an anterior glottic web. Therefore, this patient underwent radiation therapy (66 Gy). At present, one and a half years have passed since the end of radiotherapy. There is no recurrence of the glottic cancer or web. The airway at the glottis was patent. It has been reported that cutting-off the anterior glottic web could easily lead to readhesion. Accordingly, we continued to follow-up to determine whether there was a recurrence of readhesion of the anterior glottic web or glottic cancer.
