“…A review of the literature yields several studies1, 3, 9, 12 of posterior glottic stenosis that include PGS‐I and also descriptive case reports13–16 (Table II). Of these 10 cases, 7 had a tracheostomy and all patients developed an improved airway postoperatively, with most reporting normal voice.…”

Objectives: To review the natural history of type I posterior glottic stenosis (PGS-I) and its treatment outcomes through a case presentation and demonstrate the feasibility of in-office management of PGS-I. Methods: The case of a middle-aged woman who developed PGS-I after prolonged intubation is presented. A review of the literature on management and treatment outcomes of PGS-I is also performed. Results: Initially presenting with a large granuloma that failed conservative management, the patient deferred surgical intervention and developed unilateral vocal fold hypomobility with posterior glottic synechia. The adhesion was successfully ablated in the office with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser; however, vocal fold hypomobility persisted after treatment. Conclusions: This case illustrates the natural history of the development of PGS-I, demonstrates the feasibility of office-based management of this condition, and provides further evidence that lysis of PGS-I synechia does not uniformly lead to restoration of normal laryngeal function and mobility.

SUMMARY:A 52-year-old man with burn injuries and prolonged intubation developed PGS with hoarseness, dyspnea, and bilateral vocal cord immobility. On CT, a calcified interarytenoid scar band was identified, corresponding to an interarytenoid scar on laryngoscopy. Endoscopic laser lysis of the calcified scar band relieved the symptoms. We present laryngoscopic and CT findings of PGS with interarytenoid calcification along with the postlysis findings. The classification, clinical findings, imaging, and management of PGS are reviewed.ABBREVIATIONS: PGS ϭ posterior glottic stenosis; VP ϭ vocal processes P GS is fixation of the larynx. Laryngoscopy reveals bilateral impaired vocal cord mobility in a median or paramedian position with limited glottic patency. It results from scarring of the mucosa of the interarytenoid region or the cricoarytenoid joints, usually secondary to intubation trauma.
