Tucker syndrome, also known as Ptosis-vocal cord paralysis syndrome, is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital bilateral ptosis and (also congenital and bilateral) recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis. [1] [2] [3] Additional findings include short stature. [4] It was described in a small 2-generation family (a man and ...
Vocal cord paresis, also known as recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis or vocal fold paralysis, is an injury to one or both recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs), which control all intrinsic muscles of the larynx except for the cricothyroid muscle. The RLN is important for speaking, breathing and swallowing.
Ortner's syndrome is a rare cardiovocal syndrome and refers to recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy from cardiovascular disease. [1] It was first described by Norbert Ortner (1865–1935), an Austrian physician, in 1897.
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a condition affecting the vocal cords. [1] It is characterized by abnormal closure of the vocal folds, which can result in significant difficulties and distress during breathing, particularly during inhalation. [1] Due to the similarity in symptoms, VCD attacks are often mistaken for asthma attacks or laryngospasms.
Palsy of the vocal cords is an important and sometimes initial clinical manifestation of the disorder. A prion of the alpha-synuclein protein within affected neurons may cause MSA. [3] About 55% of MSA cases occur in men, with those affected first showing symptoms at the age of 50–60 years. [4]
The Vanderbilt Center diagnosed her with muscle tension dysphonia before they concluded the problem was actually “partial paralysis of her left vocal cord” a year later. By August 2024, she ...
The vocal cord paralysis ended up impacting Williams-Paisley’s everyday life. As she explained: “Days when I didn’t want to do anything. Days when I was extra tired.
Damage to these nerves results in vocal cord paralysis - the reduced mobility and inability to adduct one or both vocal cords. Many cases of vocal cord paralysis result from trauma during surgery. [2] Symptoms include hoarseness of voice, difficulty projecting, difficulty swallowing, and throat pain. [citation needed]
