Calcification and Ossification in the Arytenoid Cartilage: Incidence and Patterns

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

Calcification or ossification occurs early and commonly in the arytenoid cartilage. It may be difficult to detect, but there are only eight patterns that specifically identify ossification and calcification. Each arytenoid independently ossifies or calcifies. The cervical spine examination can specifically identify the patterns found at autopsy.
