AB  - True  vocal  cord  paralysis  signifies  loss  of  active  movement  of  the  “true”  vocal  cord,  or  vocal  fold,  secondary  to  disruption  of  the  motor  innervation  of  the  larynx.  Disruption  of  innervation  may  occur  along  the  length  of  the  recurrent  laryngeal  nerves  and  the  vagi  and  may  include  damage  to  the  motor  nuclei  of  the  vagus.  It  should  be  differentiated  from  fixation  of  the  vocal  cord  secondary  to  direct  infiltration  of  the  vocal  fold,  larynx,  or  laryngeal  muscles.  It  should  also  be  distinguished  from  fixation  at  the  cricoarytenoid  joint,  encountered  with  rheumatoid  arthritis  or  following  traumatic  intubation.
