초록

The patient suffered cardiac arrest 8 months before presentation. She has been suffering hoarseness and exertional dyspnea and nocturnal stridor. Upon flexible laryngoscopy, her vocal cords showed no motion and fixed in paramedian position. There was no causal finding on neck CT. EMG showed some muscular activity. Under the suspicion of crico arytenoid fixation, we performed suspension laryngoscopy, and found the arytenoid cartilage was fixed with short and stout scar, which was removed with scissors. Just after surgery she regained her voice and respiration.
