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.

In unilateral paralysis, airway intervention involving intubation and tracheostomy is rarely indicated; it’s usually required if the paralysis is bilateral.
