Bilateral vocal cord paralysis in Parkinson's disease
H. M. Plasse and A. N. Lieberman
We report two cases of bilateral vocal cord paralysis in patients with
Parkinson's disease and review the possible causes of this condition. We
suggest that the vocal cord muscle paralysis is a manifestation of advanced
disease. Bilateral vocal cord paralysis in Parkinson's disease may be seen
more commonly in the future as therapy enables more patients to live
longer.
