  • Title: Interarytenoid notch height relative to the vocal folds. Pilot study.
    Author: Smith RJ, Neville MB, Bauman NM.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1994 Oct; 103(10):753-7. PubMed ID: 7944165.
    Abstract:
    We measured interarytenoid notch height (IANH) in 20 young children who required direct laryngoscopy under general anesthesia. By means of a specifically designed instrument, we found that the average IANH approximated 3 mm. Laryngeal incompetence on swallowing or in the presence of gastroesophageal reflux is associated with a low IANH (p < .0001). Therefore, IANH may be a measure of relative laryngeal incompetence.
