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.
