Abstract

Objective: To report the volumetric measures of the paralyzed vocal fold in patients undergoing injection laryngoplasty.

Material and method: All the medical records of patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis who had high resolution computerized tomography scan of the neck and chest prior to injection laryngoplasty between October 2015 and May 2018 were included. Volumetric evaluation of the vocal folds was performed by measuring the vocal fold height using coronal images and the vocal fold length and width using axial images.

Results: A total of 21 patients divided into 13 males and 8 females were identified. The mean age was 56.66 ± 20.94 years. The mean volume of the paralyzed vocal fold was significantly smaller than that of the non-paralyzed vocal fold (p < .05). Similarly, the mean length and height of the paralyzed vocal folds were smaller than those of the non-paralyzed vocal folds (p < .05).

Conclusion: Volumetric measurements of the paralyzed vocal fold in comparison to the normal vocal fold in a group of 21 patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis shows the presence of significant difference between the normal and affected site, and the presence of large inter-subject variation. Information on the volume difference between the two vocal folds may be used to better estimate the amount that needs to be injected in medialization procedures.

计算机体层摄影术测量瘫痪声带的体积它的临床意义。

目的:报道注射喉成形术患者声带麻痹的体积测量。材料和方法:纳入2015年10月至2018年5月所有单侧声带麻痹患者在注射喉部成形术前进行颈胸部高分辨率计算机断层扫描的病历。通过冠状面图像测量声带高度，轴向图像测量声带长度和宽度，对声带进行体积评估。结果:共鉴定出21例患者，男13例，女8例。平均年龄56.66±20.94岁。结论:21例单侧声带麻痹患者的声带麻痹体积与正常声带体积的比较显示正常部位与受累部位存在显著差异，且存在较大的主体间差异。关于两个声带之间音量差异的信息可以用来更好地估计在麻醉过程中需要注射的量。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
