Abstract

Vocal cord paralysis is a clinically significant condition that leads to voice disorders, breathing difficulties, and impaired quality of life. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management require a comprehensive and individualized approach due to the heterogeneous etiology and clinical presentation of the disease. This study aims to optimize diagnostic approaches in patients with vocal cord paralysis by applying a differentiated management strategy based on etiology, severity, and functional impairment. The integration of clinical evaluation, instrumental diagnostics, and functional voice assessment allows for improved diagnostic accuracy and more effective treatment planning.

Keywords
