Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 The only place I could find anything close was in Stedmans, pachyderma laryngis. Here's a site that talks about reflux and waaaaayyy down under the heading PHYSICAL, it lists this. http://www.emedicine.com/ent/topic355.htm I wonder if your doc has kind of made up his own word, or maybe it's another one of those terms that's used but can't be documented in that form. The prefix pachy- just means thick, so I suppose pachylarynges is a thick larynx and pachylaryngia would be the condition of having a thick larynx, you think? ----Original Message Follows---- From: Transcribeit2@... To: nmtc Subject: pachylarynges? Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 16:28:35 EST Doctor uses the phrase pachylarynges all the time. I've obviously been able to document it, because I've never had any problems with it, nor had any complaints from him. However, he is not dictating pachylaryngea/ia and I can't document either word anywhere. Any suggestions? He dictates: On examination today, she has pachylarngea, suggestive of reflux... TIA!
