What are the vocal cords?

The fibrous bands within the larynx that are termed the vocal cords are essential for proper phonation, swallowing and breathing. Paralysis of one or both cords will cause hoarseness and may lead to increased risk of aspiration of solids and liquids. Bilateral vocal cord paralysis may inhibit effective respirations. Normal vocal cord function causes these bands to open during inhalation, allowing air to enter the trachea. The vocal cords close during swallowing and during phonation. In the latter situation, the cords vibrate to modulate the airflow, allowing speech. These functions are reduced with unilateral cord paralysis and are non-functioning if there is bilateral paralysis.

What is vocal fold scarring?
