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.
The optimal function of the larynx requires the glottis (space between the vocal cords) to be able to close for speech and protection of the airway, and open for breathing, particularly inspiration. The symptoms caused by paralysis of one vocal cord depend initially on the position in which that vocal cord is resting.
