[Dislocation of the cricoarytenoid joint: diagnosis and therapy].
Laryngeal joint injury or cricoarytenoid dislocation is a relatively rare laryngologic finding, according to the international medical literature. It may occur as a result of external neck trauma or more frequently as a result of intubation. Chief symptoms are hoarseness, vocal fatigue, and loss of voice control. ⋯ Our results suggest that a closed reduction of the arytenoid luxation can be successful even several weeks after the injury.
