Hello guys, good day 🙂

Today, we’re preparing for a revision supraglottoplasty case. During a flexible scope examination, we observed that the patient’s left arytenoid isn’t functioning properly.

This could be attributed to either unilateral vocal cord palsy or arytenoid subluxation, considering the patient’s history of intubation and prior endolaryngeal surgery. I came across an intriguing article (here) on arytenoid reduction procedures. I encourage you to read the complete article. The question at hand is whether this procedure can be considered for an infant?
