MCQ IN MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -Vocal cord paralysis is a condition in which you can’t control the movement of the muscles that control your voice. It happens when the nerve impulses to your voice box (larynx) are disrupted. This results in paralysis of the vocal cord muscles. Vocal cord paralysis can make it hard to speak and even breathe.

Detailed explanation-2: -Laryngeal paralysis is the term used to describe a functional failure of the larynx (voice box), particularly a failure to open the vocal cords during inspiration (breathing in).

Detailed explanation-3: -The recurrent laryngeal nerves are branches of the vagal nerves. Vocal cord paralysis (VCP) can therefore be caused by any lesion along the course of the vagal nerves above the branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerves or of the recurrent laryngeal nerves itself.
