Your vocal cords are located in an upper part of the airway called the voice box (larynx). A vocal cord spasm limits the flow of air through the larynx. The cause of laryngospasm is often not known, but certain conditions may be contributing factors or triggers: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which acid from the stomach backs up into the food pipe (esophagus)
Laryngitis can be caused by: 1  Vocal abuse. 2  Allergies. 3  Viral infection.  Reflux of stomach 1  acids. Exposure to irritating substances, such as cigarette smoke or too much alcohol.  Vocal cord tumors. Tumors can be cancerous or 1  noncancerous. Vocal cord paresis and vocal cord paralysis. Vocal cord paresis occurs when one or both vocal cords don't open and close properly, changing voice quality. When one or both vocal cords don't move at all, this is called vocal cord paralysis.
