— A technique used to identify the recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves using a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope is presented. The author has used this technique in 12 cases and found it superior to other techniques that he has tried.

New System

One recurring problem for otolaryngologists is the patient with vocal cord paralysis after thyroid surgery. We review the literature to assess the magnitude of this problem and to assess presently available techniques for sparing the recurrent laryngeal nerve. We present a new system for intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve location during thyroid surgery.

Etiological Spectrum

Background: To evaluate the etiological factors of hoarness Methods: The present study has been carried out in 100 cases of hoarseness were included. Patient with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal malignancy & up to 15 year of age excluded from the study. Results: In the present series bronchogenic carcinoma is the most common etiological factor causing vocal cord paralysis and second is thyroid surgery and third is tuberculosis of lung Conclusion: Voice production is a complex mechanism, involving the muscles of pharynx, palate, tongue, nose and lips. A proper protocol is necessary for identifying the factors responsible for vocal fold paralysis which would help in managing the condition more effectively.

Unilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis

Objectives 1) Understand the changing etiologies of unilateral vocal cord paralysis. 2) Learn the frequency of return of vocal cord function after paralysis. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of 280 patients treated in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Miami for the diagnosis of unilateral vocal cord paralysis from 1999 to 2007. Medical records were reviewed in order to ascertain the etiology of the paralysis and determine on follow-up if there was recovery of function. Results The majority of cases (46%) were of surgical origin, with the leading surgical injury being thyroid surgery. Despite a thorough workup, 28% of cases remained idiopathic in origin. 21 patients (7%) had recovery of vocal fold function, the majority of which had a surgical etiology. Conclusions The most common cause of unilateral vocal cord paralysis, in our experience, is surgery, with thyroid surgery being the leading cause. A large majority of these cases remain idiopathic in nature. A small subset of patients regain function of the paralyzed vocal cord.
