Epiglottic involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus may produce the clinical and laryngoscopic manifestations of acute epiglottitis. This complication is most likely to occur during acute exacerbations of the underlying disease. Other reported laryngeal manifestations of SLE include mucosal ulceration and hemorrhagic bullae, diffuse edema, corditis, cord tumor, laryngitis sicca, chronic hyperplastic laryngitis, cricoarytenoid arthritis or vocal cord paralysis. The larynx may be significantly affected by lupus erythematosus in as many as one-third of all cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
