1. What is Vocal Cord Palsy

Vocal Cord Palsy (also called Vocal Cord Paralysis) is a condition in which one or both vocal cords fail to move properly. This leads to hoarseness of voice, breathy speech, difficulty swallowing, and in severe cases, breathing problems. It occurs when the nerve impulses to the larynx (voice box) are disrupted.

2. Types of Vocal Cord Palsy

• Unilateral Vocal Cord Palsy – One vocal cord is affected; the most common form.
• Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy – Both cords are affected; can cause life-threatening airway obstruction.

3. Causes of Vocal Cord Palsy

• Nerve Injury – After surgery involving the thyroid, chest, or neck.
• Viral Infections – Affecting the nerves controlling the larynx.
• Neurological Disorders – Stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease.
• Tumors – In the thyroid, lungs, or esophagus pressing on the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
• Idiopathic – In some cases, no cause can be identified.
• Trauma – shock, bad news, over excitement, overuse of voice
