title: [Therapy of ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint following intubation].
abstract: The immobility of the vocal cord following endotracheal intubation is often misinterpreted as a paralysis. Possibilities are pointed out to differentiate between vocal cord paralysis and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint. Furthermore it is shown another simple therapeutic procedure to mobilize the fixed joint.
