PY - 2020 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, 4e AB - True vocal cord (VC) paralysis signifies loss of active movement of the “true” VC, or vocal fold (VF), secondary to disruption of the motor innervation of the larynx. Disruption of innervation may occur along the length of the recurrent laryngeal nerves and the vagi and may include damage to the motor nuclei of the vagus. It should be differentiated from fixation of the VC secondary to direct infiltration of the VF, larynx, or laryngeal muscles. It should also be distinguished from fixation at the cricoarytenoid joint, encountered with rheumatoid arthritis or following traumatic intubation.
