[Treatment of dysphonia spastica by recurrent nerve resection (author's transl)]. 1982

C Fugain, and P Josset, and B Meyer, and Y Boyer, and C H Chouard

Fifteen-month follow-up of a patient with severe dysphonia spastica treated by recurrent nerve resection showed that complete recovery had been obtained. Pathological findings, and the results of sonographic, phonographic, glottographic, and electromyographic examinations in this affection are discussed, and an attempt made to deduce the mechanism of action of this resection, and to establish the most valid indications for its employ.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007823	Laryngeal Nerves	Branches of the VAGUS NERVE. The superior laryngeal nerves originate near the nodose ganglion and separate into external branches, which supply motor fibers to the cricothyroid muscles, and internal branches, which carry sensory fibers. The RECURRENT LARYNGEAL NERVE originates more caudally and carries efferents to all muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid. The laryngeal nerves and their various branches also carry sensory and autonomic fibers to the laryngeal, pharyngeal, tracheal, and cardiac regions.

D012009	Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve	Branches of the vagus (tenth cranial) nerve. The recurrent laryngeal nerves originate more caudally than the superior laryngeal nerves and follow different paths on the right and left sides. They carry efferents to all muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid and carry sensory and autonomic fibers to the laryngeal, pharyngeal, tracheal, and cardiac regions.

D014832	Voice Disorders	Pathological processes that affect voice production, usually involving VOCAL CORDS and the LARYNGEAL MUCOSA. Voice disorders can be caused by organic (anatomical), or functional (emotional or psychological) factors leading to DYSPHONIA; APHONIA; and defects in VOICE QUALITY, loudness, and pitch.
