Pathophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis in Female Patients: An Ultrasonographic Study

CONCLUSION: CDVL and nPLC are two parameters that can be utilized to predict the turn frequencies of TA-LCA in UVFP cases without CT involvement, and the turn ratio of CT in cases of UVFP with CT involvement, respectively. The findings suggest that LUS, as a non-invasive tool, can serve as an alternative method for assessing the severity of laryngeal nerve injury and offer valuable insights into the pathophysiology of UVFP.PMID:37857353 | DOI:10.21053/ceo.2023.01046
