Abstract

A 64-year-old woman presented with Gullain-Barre Syndrome and prolonged intubation. The patient had undergone a decannulation earlier, after which she developed symotoms of hoarseness, dyspnea, and repeated aspiration. Bilateral vocal cord immobility with type 1 posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) was identified under laryngoscope. During operation, direct laryngoscopic finding and histologic finding revealed interarytenoid ossification. We present a rare case of PGS with a calcified interarytenoid band.
