No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Vocal fold immobility (VFI) often results in significant problems with dysphonia, dysphagia, and decreased cough strength. As one element of the dysphagia potentially associated with vocal fold immobility,

aspiration may create significant morbidity for these patients. An estimated 38% to 53% of patients with

untreated VFI have swallowing difficulties with aspiration.

Vocal fold immobility has important implication on the laryngeal airway protection during respiration,

phonation and swallowing. It is the most common neurological laryngeal disorder.

The immobility may be caused by neck and thoracic surgery. which can impair the innervation of the pharynx,

upper esophageal sphincter (U.E.S) and proximal esophagus but may also be due to malignancy,trauma,

Intracranial causes,or may be idiopathic
