Cricoarytenoid involvement in rheumatoid arthritis has been assessed in 32 patients by combining clinical evaluation, direct fiberoptic laryngoscopy (DFL), and high resolution computerized tomography (CT). Symptoms were inconstant, variable, and rarely prominent. Absence of symptoms does not exclude an involvement. One case presented as an acute respiratory distress. The study showed an unexpected frequency of involvement with 75% of abnormal DFL and 72% of abnormal CT. Semiology of laryngoscopy and CT are described.
通过结合临床评估、直接纤维喉镜检查(DFL)和高分辨率计算机断层扫描(CT),对32例类风湿性关节炎患者的环杓关节受累情况进行了评估。症状不持续、多变,且很少很突出。无症状并不排除受累。有1例表现为急性呼吸窘迫。该研究显示受累频率出人意料,DFL异常率为75%,CT异常率为72%。描述了喉镜检查和CT的症状学表现。
