Cricoarytenoid arthritis in Sjögren's syndrome

Pascal Sève et al. Rheumatol Int. 2005 May.

Abstract

We present the case of a 50-year-old female with polyarthralgias and dysphonia. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed the presence of cricoarytenoid arthritis. The patient complained of dryness of the eyes and oral mucosa and was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome. Treatment with prednisolone quickly brought remission of systemic and laryngeal symptoms as well as improvement in the results of video-laryngostroboscopic tests. Laryngeal involvement is uncommon in Sjögren's syndrome. One case with vocal nodules, one with lymphocytic infiltration of the larynx, and one with repeated false cord swelling have been previously reported.
