CARTILAGO SESAMOIDEA LARYNGIS Meaning and Definition

1. Cartilago sesamoidea laryngis, commonly referred to as the sesamoid cartilage of the larynx, is a small, oval-shaped cartilaginous structure located within the larynx, or voice box. It is positioned near the vocal folds, specifically within the aryepiglottic folds, which connect the arytenoid cartilages to the epiglottis.

   The sesamoid cartilage is composed of hyaline cartilage, similar to the other cartilages found in the larynx. Its shape and size may vary among individuals, but it generally measures about 5 to 7 millimeters in length. Due to its small size and hidden location, it is often overlooked during laryngeal examinations.

   The exact function of the cartilago sesamoidea laryngis is not fully understood. It is believed to have a supportive role, assisting in the stabilization of the aryepiglottic folds and contributing to the overall structure and function of the larynx. It may also play a role in vocal fold tension and fine-tuning of vocal control.

   While the sesamoid cartilage of the larynx is not directly involved in common laryngeal disorders or conditions, its presence and potential abnormalities should be taken into consideration during laryngological examinations or surgeries. Understanding the anatomy and characteristics of the cartilago sesamoidea laryngis aids in accurate evaluations and diagnoses of laryngeal pathologies.

2. A small nodule of yellow elastic cartilage sometimes present on the external border of the arytenoid cartilage.
