Observations on Central Neurologic Etiology for Laryngeal Dysfunction

Abstract
Observations of patterns of laryngeal dysfunction in patients with known as well as unrecognized neurological disease have provided the basis for a new classification. Representative patients are used to describe typical patterns of laryngeal dysfunction which occur with afferent and efferent (upper motor neuron, extrapyramidal, cerebellar and nuclear pathways) neurological disorders. The value of cinephotography in documenting and avoiding the pitfalls of brief indirect laryngoscopy is emphasized as a factor in achieving a correct diagnosis in patients with laryngeal diseases of central origin.
