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.
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).
