| Summary | A 56-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suddenly developed severe respiratory distress and laryngeal stridor, which required endotracheal intubation. She had had RA for 12 years, which had been controlled well with prednisolone (3 mg/day) at the orthopedic clinic. Laryngoscopy revealed cricoarytenoid arthritis. She was finally diagnosed as having overlap syndrome with RA and systemic lupus erythematosus. She was given high dose corticosteroids that improved her clinical symptoms and laryngoscopic findings. She represents the first patient with overlap syndrome who developed an acute airway obstruction due to cricoarytenoid arthritis. |
