The vallecula is an important reference landmark used during intubation of the trachea. The procedure requires the blade-tip of a Macintosh-style laryngoscope to be placed as far as possible into the vallecula in order to facilitate directly visualizing the glottis .
Laryngeal cysts are cysts involving the larynx or more frequently supraglottic locations, such as epiglottis and vallecula. [1] Usually they do not extend to the thyroid cartilage. [2] They may be present congenitally [3] or may develop eventually due to degenerative cause. [4] They often interfere with phonation.

Airtraq is a fibreoptic intubation device used for indirect (video or optic assisted) tracheal intubation in difficult airway situations. It is designed to enable a view of the glottic opening without aligning the oral with the pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes as an advantage over direct endotracheal intubation and allows for intubation with minimal head manipulation and positioning.
Vallecula is an anatomic term for a crevice, depression, or furrow in something. [1] There are a variety of valleculae in the human body , including one between the hemispheres of the brain , on the inferior surface of the cerebellum , in which the medulla oblongata is located ( vallecula of cerebellum ).
Optimally position the patient to maximise the probability of intubation success (e.g. external auditory meatus level with sternal notch). 2. Hold the suction catheter (wide-bore, rigid) in a clenched-fisted right hand, with the distal end of the catheter pointing caudad and posterior, to enable manipulation of the tongue and mandible as required.

Figure 18. Renal stone located at the pyeloureteric junction with accompanying hydronephrosis. [1] With US, larger stones (>5–7 mm) within the kidney, i.e., in the calyces, the pelvis and the pyeloureteric junction, can be differentiated, especially in the cases with accompanying hydronephrosis (Figure 18 and Figure 19).
