Inflammatory processes that affect the unified airway can concurrently exert significant influence on the larynx and surrounding mucosal surfaces. Laryngeal inflammation can be present secondary to direct effects of irritants, toxins, and antigens, but can also involve mechanical and infectious effects as well as secondary inflammation from behavioral mechanisms. This review examines laryngeal inflammation in the context of the unified airway and discusses pathophysiologic mechanisms that are central to the development of acute and chronic laryngitis.
