• Arytenoiditis — An acute or chronic inflammatory process localized within one or both arytenoid cartilages or the mucosa covering them in the posterior region of the larynx. This structural condition, often infectious, traumatic, or induced by severe gastroesophageal reflux, manifests clinically through dysphonia (hoarseness), odynophagia (painful swallowing), and an annoying foreign body sensation in the throat.
