Endoscopic evaluation of the upper respiratory tract revealed enlarged and immobile arytenoids. Radiographic (n = 3) and computed tomographic (1) evaluation of the laryngeal area revealed images that were indicative of a large soft tissue mass at the level of the arytenoids obstructing the rima glottis. A presumptive diagnosis of arytenoid chondritis was made.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Treatment and Outcome<\/jats:bold>\u2014A tracheostomy tube was placed in all calves. Medical treatment (with antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory drugs) was attempted in 4 calves after initial evaluation. Unilateral arytenoidectomy via a laryngotomy was performed under general anesthesia in all calves. Dysphagia and coughing were the most frequent postoperative complications. Three calves survived at least 6 months after the procedure. One calf died of a perforated abomasal ulcer 3 months after the surgery. Another calf died suddenly 1 month after the surgery of an undetermined cause.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Unilateral arytenoidectomy was a viable surgical treatment for arytenoid chondritis in calves. Further research in a larger number of affected cattle is needed to determine the advantages or disadvantages of this procedure over other surgical techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.235.4.420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,15]],"date-time":"2009-08-15T07:10:33Z","timestamp":1250320233000},"page":"420-425","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Subtotal or partial unilateral arytenoidectomy for treatment of arytenoid chondritis in five calves"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"235","author":[{"given":"Sylvain","family":"Nichols","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David E.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Equine surgery","first-page":"578","article-title":"Larynx","author":"Stick","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Large animal internal medicine","first-page":"545","article-title":"Disease of the pharynx, larynx and trachea","author":"Baker","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Vet Rec","first-page":"220","article-title":"Laryngotomy as a treatment for chronic laryngeal obstruction in cattle: a review of 130 cases","volume":"130","author":"Gasthuys","year":"1992"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Vet J","first-page":"81","article-title":"Tracheolaryngostomy as a treatment for laryngeal obstruction in cattle","volume":"153","author":"West","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Rec","first-page":"809","article-title":"Use of a permanent tracheostomy to treat laryngeal chondritis and stenosis in a heifer","volume":"152","author":"Goulding","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Vet Rec","first-page":"305","article-title":"Successful medical treatment of laryngeal chondritis in cattle","volume":"147","author":"Milne","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Am J Vet Res","first-page":"1481","article-title":"Failure of subtotal arytenoidectomy to improve upper airways flow mechanics in exercising standardbreds with induced laryngeal hemiplegia","volume":"51","author":"Belknap","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"364","article-title":"Arytenoidectomy for advanced unilateral chondropathy with accompanying lesions","volume":"19","author":"Dean","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1135","article-title":"Chronic chondritis of the equine arytenoid cartilage","volume":"177","author":"Haynes","year":"1980"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"670","article-title":"Management of arytenoid chondropathy and failed laryngoplasty in horses: 75 cases (1979\u20131985)","volume":"192","author":"Tulleners","year":"1988"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"142","article-title":"Upper airway function during maximal exercise in horses with obstructive upper airway lesions.
