CTVL (CT virtual laryngoscopy)
is a new method for
demonstrating the endoluminal
structures of the laryngeal and
hypopharyngeal region
simulating actual laryngoscopy.

• A, CT scan in normal subject during quiet breathing at level of true vocal cords. Arytenoid cartilages (arrows) cleanly visible in close proximity to inner margin of thyroid cartilage. Right anytenoid slightly larger than left.
• B, During phonation of letter E, arytenoid cartilages adduct and rotateinwards. Distended pyniform sinuses (P) are seen lateral to arytenoid cartilages.

• A, Scan during quiet breathing at level of true vocal cords in patient with clinical fixation of right true cord. Cordal mass (arrows) displaces vocal process of right arytenoid cartilage medially.
• B, During phonation. Left anytenoid moves normally. Right arytenoid remains fixed in abducted position.

Cord Paralysis

VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS
• Etiology:
• Causes of vocal cord paralysis may be divided as:
• A) Congenital:
• For example; nuclear aplasia, cerebral agenesis, birth trauma, stretch at the skull base in meningioceles and hydrocephalus (Arnold-Chiari malformation).
• B) Acquired: These include:
• 1. Trauma:
• Surgical trauma: is the most common cause of vocal cord paralysis (25%). The most common surgery is thyroid surgery. Other operations include; radical neck dissection, carotid artery surgery, oesophageal surgery, cardiac surgery and mediastinal surgery.
• Accidental trauma: as gunshots and stab wounds to the neck or chest.
• 2. Neoplasms:
• As bronchogenic carcinoma (most common). esophageal and postcricoid carcinoma and thyroid tumors.
• 3. Systemic disorders:
• Infections: Viral (as influenza), or bacterial (TB, or syphilis)
• Toxic neuritis: Diabetes, lead and alcohol poisoning.
• Cardiovascular: Cardiomegally e.g. in mitral stenosis, and aortic aneurysm.
• 4. Idiopathic

CT signs of cord paralysis
• paramedian position of the cords,
• displaced arytenoid cartilage,
• ipsilateral dilatation of the pyriform sinus,
• tilting of the thyroid cartilage,
• medial positioning and thickening of the ipsilateral
aryepiglottic fold,
• ipsilateral laryngeal ventricle dilatation
• Ipsilateral pharyngeal constrictor muscle atrophy
• peripheral and central vagal neuropathy

1-STRIDOR
• Definition: Difficult noisy breathing
due to partial laryngeal obstruction.
Early it is inspiratory, later it
becomes both inspiratory and
expiratory when obstruction
increases.

• Physical e.g hot water or burns.
• surgical trauma ( Iatrogenic ):
• I – Immediate: e.g oedema following endoscopy or difficult endotracheal intubation.
• II – Late: e.g stenosis following high tracheostony or prolonged endotracheal intubation.
• Inflammatory :
• Acute:
• Non specific : in children .
• Specific : diphtheria .
• Chronic:
• I- Non specific : only with acute exacerbation
• II- Specific : Scleroma , syphilis , T.B .
• Allergic oedema :
• e.g angioneurotic oedema or durg sensitivity e.g. to penicillin
• Neoplastic :
• Benign: multiple popillomatata in childern.
• Malignant: carcinoma.
• Neurogenic :
• Bilateral abductor paralysis : most commonly after thyroidectomy.
• Functional
• Laryngismus stridulus

2-HOARSENESS OF VOICE:
• Definition: Rough, harsh quality to
voice or cry.
• Causes: Lesions in the true vocal
cords.
