Stridor in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is typically due to arthritis of the cricoarytenoid joints leading to fixation of the vocal cords in a midline position. Cricoarytenoid joint arthritis may be acute, chronic, or acute-on-chronic.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The age of onset, patient history, tonal quality, and relation to the timing of the respiratory cycle is critical to the workup of a patient with stridor.[medicine.uiowa.edu]
For the treatment of these symptoms relief of the increase in intracranial pressure, relief of the pressure difference between intracranial and intraspinal compartments, and selection of a shunt system with a proper flow rate are important.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Despite treatment with steroids systemically and locally, antibiotics and an antihistamine, the stridor worsened.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
