Bilateral arytenoidectomy was performed in 2 horses to treat bilateral arytenoid chondritis. Dorsal mucosal defects developed post operatively, with subsequent development of dorsal glottic stenosis. The authors conclude that failure to close dorsal mucosal defects that cross the midline may result in glottic stenosis.
