Since the publication of this paper, which was based on 4 cases, 13 additional cases have been observed, and now the autopsy and microscopical findings of the larynges of 2 patients who had suffered with arthritis of the larynx are available.As reported in the previous paper, the cricoarytenoid joint is arthrodial in type (presence of a joint cavity), with a capsule of fibrous and synovial stratums attached to the edges of the joint surfaces, and is reinforced by the cricoarytenoid posterior ligament . . .
