Glidescope® images of laryngeal inlet and inner larynx

These images clearly show how the epiglottis juts out, covering the inner laryngeal structures. During laryngoscopy, the epiglottis often casts a shadow over the inner larynx. The curvilinear structure on the right side of bottom image is the pharyngoepiglottic fold. The true vocal cord is marked with asterisks (**). The aryepiglottic fold in the bottom image is marked with plus signs (++).
