Histological findings of 15 excised arytenoid cartilages are reported. In all cases there was a long-term recurrent nerve paralysis without additional inflammatory disease. In one of the cases there was fibrosed ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint. This is the first report made on the histological findings of the arytenoid cartilage in cases of paralysis. It is confirmed that there is a difference in the joint pathology in cases of immobility due to inflammatory conditions and pure non inflammatory recurrent paralysis. The fixation caused by arthritis of the joint has relatively poor prognosis after surgery while if fixation is due to recurrent nerve paralysis the chances of recovery are good in long-term paralysis.
报告了15例切除的杓状软骨的组织学 findings。在所有病例中，均存在长期的喉返神经麻痹，且无其他炎症性疾病。其中1例病例存在环杓关节的纤维性强直。这是关于麻痹病例中杓状软骨组织学 findings的首次报告。已证实，因炎症性疾病导致的活动受限病例与单纯非炎症性喉返神经麻痹病例的关节病理学存在差异。关节关节炎所致的固定术后预后相对较差，而如果固定是由喉返神经麻痹引起的，长期麻痹时恢复的机会良好。
