Abstract
We recently treated a 59-year-old male case with Forestier's disease who complained of hoarseness. X-ray examination revealed severe ossification of the anterior bodies of C3, C4 and C5. Fiberscopy also revealed a left vocal cord palsy. We concluded that the cause of the patient's hoarseness was not recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, but arytenoid fixation due to inflammation.
