Two patients are presented with upper airway obstruction associated with regional enteritis (Crohn's disease). Two mechanisms for this obstruction are proposed. The first is involvement of the cricoarytenoid joint with the inflammatory process and the second is extensive edema of the upper airway due to submucosal involvement with the disease process. We were unable to find any previous reports of upper airway obstruction associated with regional enteritis. The data from these patients suggests that Crohn's disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic persistent laryngeal edema.
本文报告了两例与局限性肠炎(克罗恩病)相关的上气道梗阻患者。提出了导致这种梗阻的两种机制。第一种是环杓关节受累于炎症过程,第二种是由于疾病过程累及黏膜下层导致上气道广泛水肿。我们未能找到之前任何关于局限性肠炎相关上气道梗阻的报告。这些患者的数据表明,克罗恩病应纳入慢性持续性喉水肿的鉴别诊断。
