What does piriforms are blanched out and somewhat edematous mean on ent exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Voice box: A part of the larynx, voice box, pyriform sinus, on either side. Those areas were pale and somewhat swollen. In isolation it does not mean much. It could be due to allergy, anemia or a reaction to medication. It would be prudent to discuss the finding with your doctor who has more information about your health.
