Vocal Fold Immobility: A Longitudinal Analysis of Etiology Over 20 Years
The Laryngoscope · 2007 · Vol. 117(10) · pp. 1864–1870
Abstract
This 20-year longitudinal assessment revealed that the etiology of unilateral vocal fold immobility has changed such that there has been a shift from extralaryngeal malignancies to nonthyroid surgical procedures as the major cause. Thyroid surgery remains the most common cause of bilateral vocal fold immobility.
