Abstract:
Twelve children with symptoms of vocal cord paralysis were studied by monopolar needle electromyography. Recordings were used to verify complete or partial paralysis as well as to evaluate the etiology of the problem, paralytic or mechanical. These results then were useful in patient management. The monopolar electromyographic technique is of value in evaluating and treating vocal cord problems.
