Abstract Conclusions: Three different types of glottal configuration in unilaterally paralyzed larynx were proposed by utilizing three-dimensional computed tomographic (3DCT) images. This new classification might facilitate understanding of the behavior of the affected vocal fold in terms of vocal function. Objectives: To develop a classification of glottal configuration in unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) based on the thickness and location of the vocal folds utilizing 3DCT and to compare each type of configuration with vocal function. Methods: Thirty-seven consecutive patients with UVFP underwent CT during phonation and inhalation. 3D endoscopic and coronal images on two occasions were produced. Maximum phonation time and mean airflow rate were also measured. Results: Three types of glottal configuration were proposed. The thickness of the affected vocal fold during phonation was equal to or slightly thinner than the healthy fold in 10 patients (type A). The affected fold of the remaining 27 was thin during phonation; they were further classified into types B and C. In type B, the affected fold remained thin during phonation and inhalation (n = 12). Type C was allocated to those showing one or two paradoxical movements of the affected fold (n = 15). Those with type A showed significantly better vocal function. |
