[The clinical features and drug therapy of unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis]
Objective:
To investigate the clinical features and medication of unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis.
Method:
Thirty-nine of medical treated patients with unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis were retrospectively studied, and relevant literatures were reviewed.
Result:
After 4 to 19 days of medical therapy, 9 patients were cured, the vocal fold movement of 18 sufferers were improved, and 12 pantients were not healed.
Conclusion:
Unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis is common, and the treatment efficacy of medicine is almost the same with others. Unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis is a disease with spontaneous recovery, which should be followed up.
