Vocal cord paresis, also known as recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis or vocal fold paralysis, is an injury to one or both recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs), which control all intrinsic muscles of the larynx except for the cricothyroid muscle. The RLN is important for speaking, breathing and swallowing.
Trauma is often due to excessive use of the vocal folds such as by yelling, screaming, or singing. Though this often results in damage to the outer layers of the vocal folds, the subsequent healing process may lead to changes in the physiology of the folds. [1] Another potential cause of inflammation may be overuse of the vocal cords.
Vocal nodules are caused over time by repeated abuse of the vocal cords which results in soft, swollen spots on each vocal cord. [24] These spots develop into harder, callous-like growths called nodules. The longer the abuse occurs the larger and stiffer the nodules will become.

Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a condition affecting the vocal cords. [1] It is characterized by abnormal closure of the vocal folds, which can result in significant difficulties and distress during breathing, particularly during inhalation. [1] Due to the similarity in symptoms, VCD attacks are often mistaken for asthma attacks or laryngospasms.
Vocal fold cysts (also known as vocal cord cysts) are benign masses of the membranous vocal folds. [1] These cysts are enclosed, sac-like structures that are typically of a yellow or white colour. [2] They occur unilaterally on the midpoint of the medial edge of the vocal folds. [1] They can also form on the upper/superior, surface of the vocal ...

[4] Any injury or condition that prevents the vocal cords - the paired bands of muscle tissue positioned over the trachea - from coming together and vibrating will have the potential to make a person unable to speak. When a person prepares to speak, the vocal folds come together over the trachea and vibrate ...
