Furthermore, total resection of one
arytenoid cartilage, reconstruction with CHP, and not repositioning the pyriform sinuses create a risk after SCPL (4).
After the
arytenoid cartilage was separated from the cricoid cartilage in the left side, the exoeSL procedure with lower needle at lower edge of thyroid lamina 20 mm from the posterior edge of the thyroid lamina and upper needle at 22 mm from the posterior edge produced a sufficient glottic gap [Figure 3]B.
In supracricoid laryngectomy (SCPL) for transglottic tumors with glottic and supraglottic involvement and minimal extension to the infraglottis, the hyoid bone, the cricoid cartilage, and at least one
arytenoid are preserved, thus maintaining the possibility of functional reconstruction.
Hoarseness after laryngeal blunt trauma: A differential diagnosis between an injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and an
arytenoid subluxation.
Idiopathic mucosal lesions of the
arytenoid cartilages of 21 Thoroughbred yearlings: 1997-2001.
Dislocation of the
arytenoids can cause alterations of the voice, sore throat and pain on swallowing.
The thickening of the aryepiglottic folds and
arytenoid cartilages causes the thumb sign, rather than the epiglottis.[4] The epiglottis resembles a human thumb in size and shape on the radiograph.
A survey performed by the American Broncho-Esophagological Association reported that the signs of LPR on laryngoscopy include vocal fold erythema, posterior commissure hypertrophy,
arytenoid erythema, and
arytenoid edema.' Additionally, the same survey found that flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy was the test of choice to diagnose LPR, with a dual pH probe with impedance testing as a valuable adjunct.
also reported a similar case to ours where the fish bone migrated into the paraglottic space, and after an unsuccessful endoscopic removal of the fish bone, the patient underwent a posterolateral approach to the paraglottic space, which is a modification of the approach used for
arytenoid adduction.
Then, a modified posterior ML with a larger prosthesis projected toward the vocal process was placed to medially displace the vocal fold and
arytenoid cartilage simultaneously.
International head and neck surgeons discuss in- and outpatient procedures including cordotomy, thyroplasty,
arytenoid abduction, and minithyrotomy.
