Unilateral vocalfold paralysis is a common clinical problem which frequently causes severe dysphonia.
2
Laryngeal examination revealed the absence of the right vocalfold.
3
Four children had unilateral vocalfold paralysis only, all left-sided.
4
Acoustic output of excised rat larynges with and without vocalfold constriction was measured.
5
Results: All objective measures showed a difference between nonlesion and bilateral vocalfold lesion groups.
6
Patients with bilateral vocalfold paralysis typically have no impairment of the voice but dyspnea.
7
Conclusion: We noticed 5 vocalfold bamboo nodes and gastroesophageal reflux disease in almost all patients.
8
Four objective vocalfold phase linearity measures were obtained to establish anterior-posterior contact and separation vibratory patterns.
9
The vocalfold was transversely cut in 9 regions and in each segment three slides were made.
10
Temporary vocalfold augmentation by injection medialization results in satisfactory voice quality that is comparable with a thyroplasty.
11
The main symptom of unilateral vocalfold paralysis is hoarseness because of a remaining glottic gap during phonation.
12
Conclusion: Immunohistochemistry is a method that can identify and measure all forms of elastic fibers at human vocalfold.
13
Voice therapy is a promising approach for patients with unilateral vocalfold paralysis, but not all patients benefit sufficiently.
14
It is concluded that type I thyroplasty leads to a significantly higher V-RQOL for patients with unilateral vocalfold paralysis.
15
Patterns in the posterior region of the vocalfold were similar in both groups; while patterns in the anterior region differed.
16
Objective: To provide data on the measurable vocalfold vibratory differences in children with and without vocalfold lesions using high-speed videoendoscopy.
