Paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a common disease that is often encountered in otolaryngology. This type of vocal cord paresis is rather a symptom of disorders caused by pathology of the vocal apparatus of the larynx. It usually develops as a result of a pathological process affecting the vagus nerve or its upper or recurrent branches. Paresis means a temporary impairment of the mobility of the laryngeal muscles and this diagnosis is established for patients with a disease duration of up to 6 months.
