The larynx is shown opened anteriorly. The epiglottis is at the left and the upper trachea at the right. Note the vocal folds in the center. The false vocal fold (cord) is to the left and the true cord to the right, with the recess of the ventricle in between. Note the bilateral subglottic erosions here. These developed in a patient who had been intubated for several weeks.
