Four conditions account for nearly all cases of bilateral vocal fold immobility: (1) neurogenic bilateral vocal fold paralysis, (2) cricoarytenoid joint fixation, (3) laryngeal synkinesis, and (4) interarytenoid scar/posterior glottic stenosis. If a patient complains of hoarseness, the cricoarytenoid joint may be involved, as it is a synovial joint. The patient was noted to have bilateral ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joints, which was successfully treated with bilateral laser cordotomies. |
