ABSTRACT
Prolonged intubation is a common cause of injury to the posterior larynx often resulting in cricoarytenoid joint (CAJ) fixation and posterior glottic stenosis (PGS). We present a case of respiratory failure due to acute bilateral CAJ fixation and PGS following only 2 days of intubation for routine cardiac surgery. A tracheostomy was placed due to critical airway obstruction. Clinicians should remain vigilant for laryngeal injury presenting as CAJ fixation and PGS. Prompt surgical consultation is advised as early intervention is associated with reduced morbidity.
