A scoring system for mucositis of the head and neck during irradiation was reported by van der Schueren in 1990. However, there has been no such scoring system developed for edema of larynx and hypopharynx. Thus, we present here a new semiquantitative scoring system to evaluate edema of the larynx and hypopharynx. The scoring system consists of five levels for evaluation of arytenoid edema.<BR>The scoring system has been used to evaluate patients with laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer undergoing irradiation. The patients were examined during and after the irradiation. The scores during the treatment were associated with the total dose of the irradiation and the square of the irradiation field. On the other hand, the recurrence of their cancer and necrosis of the thyroid cartilage seemed to affect changes in the scores after treatment.<BR>This new scoring system has been proven easy to perform and very useful for follow-up patients after irradiation.
