Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection has been described in multiple areas of the head and neck. Recently, otolaryngologists have recognized MRSA infection in the glottis. We describe 2 cases of MRSA laryngitis with divergent clinical presentations: acute airway obstruction and recalcitrant hoarseness.
