title: Arytenoid subluxation.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Disruption of the cricoarytenoid joint is uncommon and possibly underdiagnosed.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To highlight the diagnosis of arytenoid subluxation and its management.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two case reports.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Arytenoid subluxation is a rare condition that should always be considered in patients presenting with symptoms following upper airway instrumentation or external trauma to the neck. Early diagnosis optimises the possibility of restoring normal voice and laryngeal function.
