Non-selective laryngeal reinnervation in a child with unilateral left vocal fold palsy utilizing laryngeal electromyography

摘要

IntroductionThe impact of unilateral vocal fold palsy (UVFP) on quality of life cannot be underestimated. Management may be complicated by difficulty in determining prognosis. Currently, there is no standardized management pathway for UVFP. Surgery is considered when speech and language therapy has not been successful or when there is significant aspiration and dysphonia. Surgical options for UVFP include injection laryngoplasty, thyroplasty and laryngeal reinnervation.
