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.
Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) occurs from a dysfunction of the recurrent laryngeal or vagus nerve innervating the larynx. It causes a characteristic breathy voice often accompanied by swallowing disabilty, a weak cough, and the sensation of shortness of breath. This is a common cause of neurogenic hoarseness.
