Airway obstruction due to unilateral vocal fold paralysis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Airway obstruction is an uncommon presentation of unilateral laryngeal paralysis. We have observed two mechanisms of obstruction: arytenoid prolapse and inappropriate adduction of the paralyzed vocal fold. We evaluated arytenoid abduction (AAb) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) reinnervation as treatments for airway obstruction in patients with unilateral laryngeal paral...
متن کاملSubglottic high frequency jet ventilation in surgical management of bilateral vocal fold paralysis after thyroidectomy.
Lesion of the recurrent laryngeal nerves as a consequence of thyroid surgery results in bilateral vocal fold paralysis and respiratory obstruction. The initial treatment involves ensuring an adequate airway and it ranges from tracheostomy to endo-extralaryngeal laterofixating operations in general anesthesia. Subglottic high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is an alternative ventilatory approac...
متن کاملLaser arytenoidectomy in children with bilateral vocal fold immobility.
Bilateral vocal fold immobility in children is a challenging problem because a balance between good airway and voice quality has to be achieved. Surgery to improve the airway is often postponed or avoided because of fear of losing the voice. In this study our results of laser arytenoidectomy in children are described. This was a retrospective case notes review at a tertiary level paediatric ENT...
متن کاملTotal and Partial Laser Arytenoidectomy for Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Introduction. Treatment for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) has evolved from external irreversible procedures to endolaryngeal laser surgery with greater focus on anatomic and functional preservation. Since the introduction of endolaryngeal laser arytenoidectomy, certain modifications have been described, such as partial resection procedures and mucosa sparing techniques as opposed to tot...
متن کاملMonitoring vocal fold abduction through vocal fold contact area.
A number of commercial devices for measuring the transverse electrical conductance of the thyroid cartilage produce waveforms that can be useful for monitoring movements within the larynx during voice production, especially movements that are closely related to the time-variation of the contact between the vocal folds as they vibrate. This paper compares the various approaches that can be used ...
