In such cases, it can cause dysphagia, dysarthria, flaccid paralysis, atrophy and fasciculation of the muscles innervated by said cranial nerves.

The features of voice in SMA found in the articles are: vocal weakness, low intensity, velar and pharyngeal hypotonia, nasality, wet voice, and bilateral cordal palsy.
