  • Title: Cricoarytenoid arthritis in ankylosing spondylitis. A cause of acute respiratory failure and cor pulmonale.
    Author: Libby DM, Schley WS, Smith JP.
    Journal: Chest; 1981 Nov; 80(5):641-2. PubMed ID: 7297162.
    Abstract:
    A man with ankylosing spondylitis developed cor pulmonale and acute respiratory failure due to cricoarytenoid arthritis. He was successfully treated by endoscopic arytenoidectomy, and the surgical specimen showed ossified cartilage. Flow-volume curves documented extra-thoracic airway obstruction produced by ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joints.
