Arytenoid cartilage granulomas are the result of chronic mucosal injury. However, we did make an incidental finding of a small swelling on the right arytenoid muscle adjacent to the arytenoid cartilage (figure 1). 14) Similarly, Marcus et al reported using scissors to trim the obstructing mucosa from the lateral edge of the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, and arytenoid cartilage in all patients, even though they saw two distinct patterns of laryngomalacia in their patients; half exhibited anteromedial collapse of aryepiglottic folds and cuneiform cartilage, while the other half manifested only anteromedial collapse of the mucosa overlying the arytenoids. |
