Prognostic value of laryngeal electromyography in vocal fold paralysis.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the value of electromyography in predicting recovery from acute neurogenic vocal fold paralysis. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING University-based hospital of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery. PATIENTS Ninety-eight patients (56 women, with a mean age of 62.2 years; 42 men, with a mean age of 39.8 years) with 111 paralyzed vocal folds. The causes ...
متن کاملQuantitative laryngeal electromyography assessment of cricothyroid function in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Determination of superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) involvement in addition to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis in patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) relies on traditional, qualitative laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) examination. It is necessary to develop a quantitative measurement that reflects the degree of denervation of the cricothyroid (CT) m...
متن کاملIntraoperative laryngeal electromyography in children with vocal fold immobility: results of a multicenter longitudinal study.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) can predict recurrent laryngeal nerve function return in children and whether LEMG can aid in the management of vocal fold immobility (VFI). DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Tertiary pediatric aerodigestive centers. PATIENTS Twenty-five children aged 14 days to 7 years at the time of first LEMG (mean age, 21.4 months...
متن کاملLaryngeal electromyography findings of vocal fold immobility in patients after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The clinical features of vocal fold immobility (VFI) after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have seldom been reported. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) and tumor study findings to elucidate the common clinical features of patients who presented with VFI after radiotherapy for NPC. The LEMG signals obtained from the cricothyroid an...
متن کاملIntraoperative laryngeal electromyography in children with vocal fold immobility: a simplified technique.
OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to determine whether a simplified technique for intraoperative laryngeal electromyography was feasible using standard nerve integrity monitoring electrodes and audiovisual digital recording equipment. Our secondary objective was to determine if laryngeal electromyography data provided any additional information that significantly influenced pat...
