Excerpt

In order of teleological importance, the human larynx plays pivotal roles in airway protection, respiration, and phonation [1]. With respect to deglutition, the larynx has both intrinsic functions such as airway protection resulting from supraglottic/glottic closure as well as extrinsic functions such as opening of the upper esophageal sphincter with laryngeal elevation. Despite these roles, historically, the phonatory disability arising from unilateral vocal cord immobility (UVCI) has received considerably more attention and scientific investigation; the swallowing impact of UVCI has been, to some degree, neglected. …
