| Abstract: | Arytenoid chondritis is a performance-limiting condition in horses. The underlying problem is a primary infection in the body or corniculate process of 1 or both arytenoid cartilages of the larynx. When chronic inflammation or abscessation may deform and permanently immobilize the affected cartilages, partial arytenoidectomy is indicated. Before that point, the process can be arrested by local debridement or drainage of the lesions, which has traditionally been accomplished by laryngotomy with the horse under general anesthesia. Infections of the arytenoid cartilages with granulomas and abscesses can be effectively treated in the standing horse by using the diode laser administered by an endoscopically guided ventral stab incision in the cricothyroid membrane. |
