PY - 2020 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, 4e AB - The term neurolaryngology, first introduced in the late twentieth century, encompasses the study of neurologic disorders of the larynx and pharynx. This subdiscipline of laryngology was borne out of collaboration between laryngologists with neurologists who recognized that a wide variety of voice and swallowing disorders previously considered idiopathic or psychogenic were, in fact, a result of neurologic dysfunction. It is no coincidence that this field developed when flexible fiber optic endoscopy became widely available, which for the first time allowed for a dynamic assessment of the laryngopharynx during a variety of tasks, as opposed to that which could be observed by transoral mirror laryngoscopy alone.
