Vocal cord paralysis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Unilateral paralysis, the most common form, may cause vocal weakness and hoarseness. Bilateral paralysis typically produces vocal weakness and incapacitating airway obstruction if the cords become paralyzed in the adducted position.
PEDIATRIC TIP Children may present with hoarseness, aspiration, and stridor. If the paralysis is unilateral, it typically involves the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. In unilateral paralysis, airway intervention involving intubation and tracheostomy is rarely indicated; it’s usually required if the paralysis is bilateral.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia:
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also
called familial spastic paralysis, refers to a group of genetic disorders
that are
characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness)
of the legs.
Symptoms of HSP may occur alone or, in more complicated forms
of HSP, may occur in combination with a number of other neurological
symptoms. Generally, the primary feature is severe, progressive, lower
extremity spasticity. The spasticity sometimes occurs with abnormalities
such as optic neuropathy, retinopathy (disease of the retina), dementia,
ataxia (lack of muscle control), ichthyosis (a skin disorder causing dry,
rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, and deafness.
