this is a panel presentation for Assessment, office-based and endolaryngeal approach for Unilateral Vocal Fold Immobilty

Description: Evaluation of the cricoarytenoid muscle requires a specific approach to examination including listening to vocal tasks and visually recording respiration and phonation.

Background: Neurological impairments of the anterior branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve are the most missed neurologic injuries of the larynx. Motion of the vocal process can be difficult to view, often covered by the arytenoid during endoscopic examinations. Additionally, sudden subtle movement can be missed.

Outcome objectives:The audience will learn specific visual techniques to identify this recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, including paresis, synkinesis and dyskinesis of the nerve.

- One of the most important outcomes is to be patient during recording, getting close and recording longer.
- Slow video review looking for nuances of vocal cord motion, comparing side to side and expected motion reveals important details.
- Treatment options will also be discussed.
