|July 1, 1983
Summary
Vocal cord paralysis, often from vagus nerve issues, can be evaluated using laryngography and CT scans. Laryngography is preferred for functional assessment of vocal cord paralysis until CT technology improves.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Vocal cord paralysis (VCP) is commonly caused by vagal nerve or recurrent laryngeal nerve pathology.
- Intralaryngeal lesions are an infrequent cause of VCP.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
