Laryngeal paralysis refers to paralysis of the muscles of the larynx that normally contract and expand during breathing. Postoperative laryngeal paralysis may be associated with thyroid surgery. Laryngitis, which may occur as a result of excessive smoking, can lead to permanent voice changes.
A sudden reflexive closure of the larynx occurring when an individual is trying to breathe. Laryngopasm occurs more frequently in persons who have vocal cord paralysis or in those experiencing sensory neuropathic cough; it is also seen as an aftermath of an upper respiratory infection. A typical laryngospasm episode begins abruptly and lasts approximately one minute. The individual often makes loud inspiratory noises, the loudness of which abates gradually over the first minute or two. The voice may be choked off during the same time, making it difficult to speak.
