Laryngeal sub sites

Dr Jeremy Jones and Dr Frank Gaillard et al.

The larynx is divided into three sub sides for the purposes of staging (see staging of laryngeal SCC). They are:

supraglottis
- false vocal cords
- arytenoid cartilages
- epiglottis, which is divided into suprahyoid and infrahyoid portions
- aryepiglotic folds
glottis
- true vocal cords
- anterior commissure
- posterior commissure
subglottis
- from the inferior aspect of the the glottis to the first tracheal ring
