CASE PRESENTATION:: We report a case of bulky, obstructive supraglottic and glottic herpes virus laryngitis that presented with dysphonia, dysphagia, and airway complaints resistant to acyclovir analogues that was treated effectively with intralesional cidofovir injection.
CONCLUSIONS:: Our promising initial response suggests a potential novel treatment for this unusual condition.
