title: [Vocal cord paralysis with stridor caused by interarytenoid fibrosis--a complication of intensive care].
abstract: Translaryngeal long-term intubation in intensive-care patients was followed in three cases by immobilisation of the vocal cords and severe stridor, caused by a fibrotic scar between the processus vocales and the posterior commissure. Different surgical approaches are described. Endoscopic incision of the scars is recommended. Most important is a bolting technique for several consecutive days.
