Healthy function of this nerve is needed for breathing, speaking, coughing, and swallowing. The RLN goes into the chest cavity and curves back into the neck until it reaches your voice box.[entnet.org]
Three hours post operatively, the patient was noted to have a breathy voice and developed cough on taking oral feeds. She had no breathing difficulty or stridor.[austinpublishinggroup.com]
As the vocal cords migrate toward the midline, the voice (and cough) improves, while the airway worsens. Clinicians should not mistake a good voice and cough as signs of a functioning larynx, especially in a patient with stridor.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Vocal cord paralysis and paresis can result from abnormal function of the nerves that control your voice box muscles (laryngeal muscles).[entnet.org]
. • Vocal cord Paresis : defined as partial interruption of nerve impulse resulting in weak or abnormal movement of laryngeal muscles. 3. • Vocal cord paresis/paralysis can occur at any age or sex. • Effect of VC paralysis may vary & depends on the patient[slideshare.net]
We postulate that the cause was attributed to bilateral vocal cord paresis due to the use of the intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) whose high setting throughout the surgery was overlooked.[casereports.bmj.com]
This is called “paresis”, and because the vocal fold retains some ability to move, can be especially challenging to diagnose. Vocal fold paresis is one of the most commonly overlooked diagnoses in laryngology.[voice.weill.cornell.edu]

Moreover, in many cases, laryngeal electromyography yields reliable prognosis of clinical outcome. While unfavorable results can be predicted with high accuracy, correct prognosis of complete recovery is more difficult.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It has been shown that the cricothyroid muscle does not influence the functional prognosis or the position of the vocal fold in recurrent nerve paralysis ( 6 ).[academic.oup.com]

Most commonly the vocal folds remain fixed in a ‘near closed’ position, preventing the breathing in and out large amounts of air. Patients complain of shortness of breath with exertion, such as walking up stairs.[throatdisorder.com]
