Abstract: Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in the treatment of subglottic amyloidosis. Methods Clinical data of two cases of subglottic amyloidosis from Jan.2010 to Oct.2014 were reviewed. Results No obvious complication was found in the two patients after laser operation. Symptoms, including hoarseness and laryngeal obstruction, were relieved dramatically after the surgery. Follow-up period was 9 months and 14 months, respectively. During the follow-up, no recurrence happened on both patients. Conclusion CO2 laser is effective to treat subglottic amyloidosis. Short-term clinical outcomes are satisfactory if complete resection is achieved, however, long-term effects need further observation.

Key words: Amyloidosis, Laryngeal diseases, Carbon dioxide laser
