Voice assessment is necessary to plan and estimate the success of a possible speech therapy. [12] An auditory-perceptual evaluation is conducted by a Speech-Language Pathologist (S-LP), and allows changes in voice quality to be monitored over time. [14[en.wikipedia.org]

Vocal fold paralysis, distinguished from vocal paresis, is the total loss of vocal fold mobility due to a lack of neural input to the vocal folds. [4] These conditions result from continuous damage to the laryngeal nerves [4] [3] and often lead to vocal disability[en.wikipedia.org]

This compromises the airways and causes respiratorydistress which may often be acute necessitating tracheostomy. A lateralisation of the vocal cord is required to provide adequate airway without significantly affecting speech.[link.springer.com]
In incomplete bilateral abductor damage to the RLN, the adductor fibers draw the VC toward each other, and the glottis opening is reduced to a thin slit, which leads to significant respiratorydistress.[otorrinos2do.wordpress.com]

Pathophysiology of vocal fold paralysis Patterns of injury The RLN contains 500-1000 motor axons, and all are myelinated [22]. The nerve trunk is a collection of fascicles.[ejo.eg.net]

Augmentation involves injecting a paste of plasticized particles, collagen, micronized dermis, or autologous fat into the paralyzed cord, bringing the cords closer together to improve the voice and prevent aspiration.[merckmanuals.com]
