Table 1 Patients with multiple system atrophy who initially presented with laryngeal abductor paralysis/stridor In the cases presented, it proved true that LAP/stridor can be a solitary manifestation of MSA. [jnnp.bmj.com]

Despite this statement relatively few reports of congenital laryngeal-abductor paralysis can be found in the literature, and I have been unable to locate any reference to this occurrence in siblings.The present report concerns 3 brothers with congenital [nejm.org]

Abstract Two brothers presented with late-onset cerebellar ataxia and severe dysphonia. Brain MRI showed vermian and hemispheric cerebellar atrophy. Laringofiberscopy revealed laryngeal abductor paralysis in both patients. [neurology.org]

• Suggestibility

  The combined findings and the molecular analysis suggest a new familial disorder. Inheritance is most likely autosomal recessive, but X-linked transmission is also possible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The interval between LAP/stridor and hospital admission was rather long (on average 5.4 years), suggesting that the progression of LAP was not very rapid in those patients. [jnnp.bmj.com]

Etiologies of the paralyses from both vocal folds are in large number, and sequelae from thyroid gland surgery predominates (3). Tumor diseases of the cervical and mediastinum areas are less common etiologies (3). [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

In the study by Jang et al. [80], patients with VFP of central etiology showed a higher incidence of penetration and aspiration as compared with patients with peripheral etiology. [ejo.eg.net]

Cricoarytenoid arthritis, which may cause fixation of the cricoarytenoid joint, must be differentiated from a neuromuscular etiology. Fixation is best documented by absence of passive mobility during rigid laryngoscopy under general anesthesia. [merckmanuals.com]

Pathophysiology Although a comprehensive discussion of each of the causes is beyond the scope of this article, some principles should be emphasized. [emedicine.medscape.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]

Transection of this nerve at the point between interarytenoid and PCA branch may prevent aberrant reinnervation of adductor nerve axons to the PCA muscle. [journals.lww.com]

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis can be caused by a variety of diseases or disorders that prevent movement in one vocal fold. [texasvoicecenter.com]

This stimulation can prevent the muscles from atrophying while they regenerate. In addition, the stimulation can re-establish reinnervation. [vanderbilthealth.com]

The only difference noted was that he placed three or four loops to prevent tension and cut through of the suture through the mucosa. [laryngologyandvoice.org]

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]
