- Abstract : A case of a female patient with extensive rheumatoid arthritis who presented to the Accident and Emergency Department with life-threatening stridor is described. Although clinical involvement of the larynx is found in over a third of patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis, acute airways obstruction is fortunately a very rare complication. Stridor is probably precipitated in the acute situation in such patients as a result of upper respiratory tract infection.
