Symptoms Typically, tremor affects muscle groups outside of the larynx and can cause the voice to sound “shaky” or “quivery.” Like adductor and abductor spasmodic dysphonia, the symptoms of vocal tremor can range from mild (infrequent, periodic tremor) to severe (affecting all voicing and singing).

About This Condition Surgery for Unilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis (Laryngoplasty) For patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis that does not recover, we believe that surgery to reposition the paralyzed vocal cord — as opposed to a vocal cord injection — is the most precise way to achieve a permanently better voice.

Paralyzed Diaphragm Symptoms of significant, usually bilateral diaphragm weakness or paralysis are: shortness of breath when lying flat, or with walking. In addition, shortness of breath can occur with immersion in water up to the lower chest cage (immersion dyspnea).

- In vocal cord paralysis, the nerve impulses to your voice box (larynx) are disrupted, resulting in paralysis of the muscle. Doctors often don't know the cause of vocal cord paralysis. Injury to the vocal cord during surgery. Surgery on or near your neck or upper chest can result in damage to the nerves that serve your voice box.

Vocal Paralysis Vocal paralysis is the total absence of movement of a vocal cord due to nerve damage. A paralysis may be partial, in which case it is called a paresis. A paresis is due to partial nerve injury. On stroboscopy, the cords vibrate less because they do not make contact to initiate vibration.

- VNS causes stimulation of the superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves and is associated with problems ranging from alteration of voice (66%), coughing (45%), pharyngitis (35%) and throat pain (28%) and hoarseness (very common) to frank laryngeal muscle spasm and upper airway obstruction (rare).

Diagnosis If your vocal cord paralysis symptoms don't fully recover on their own, surgical treatments may be offered to improve your ability to speak and to swallow. Bulk injection. Paralysis of the nerve to your vocal cord will probably leave the vocal cord muscle thin and weak.

Laryngitis Signs and symptoms[edit] The primary symptom of laryngitis is a hoarse voice (dysphonia). In early stages, erythema (reddening) and edema (swelling) of epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoids and ventricular folds occur. In late stages, the vocal folds and subglottic structures are also involved.

- Azurite Gemstone Information. Azurite is a rare variety of gemstone-quality copper ore. Azurite is one of two basic copper carbonate minerals (malachite is the other). Azurite is rarer than malachite and is considered more valuable. Azurite gets its name from the Persian word 'lazhward', which refers to its distinctive, vivid blue color.

Vocal Cord Paralysis Vocal fold (or cord) paresis and paralysis result from abnormal nerve input to the voice box muscles (laryngeal muscles). Paralysis is the total interruption of nerve impulse, resulting in no movement; paresis is the partial interruption of nerve impulse, resulting in weak or abnormal motion of laryngeal muscles. Paresis/paralysis can happen at any age, from birth to advanced age, in males and females, from a variety of causes. The effect on patients may vary greatly, depending on the patient s use of his or her voice: A mild vocal fold paresis can be the end to a singer's career, but have only a marginal effect on a computer programmer.

Vocal Cord Paralysis Vocal cord paralysis has numerous causes and can affect speaking, breathing, and swallowing. The left vocal cord is affected twice as often as the right, and females are affected more often than males (3:2). Diagnosis is based on direct visualization. An extensive assessment may be necessary to determine the cause. Several direct surgical approaches are available if treating the cause is not curative.

- 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.

Vocal Fold Paralysis What is vocal fold paralysis? Vocal fold paralysis (also known as vocal cord paralysis) is a voice disorder that occurs when one or both of the vocal folds don't open or close properly. Single vocal fold paralysis is a common disorder. Paralysis of both vocal folds is rare and can be life threatening. The vocal folds are two elastic bands of muscle tissue located in the larynx (voice box) directly above the trachea (windpipe) (see figure).
