Purpose: There are a few case reports on asymmetric vocal cord uptake on FDG-PET in patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis, which could be a potential pitfall in the interpretation of FDG-PET images. We evaluated the metabolic activity of laryngeal muscles of patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis in comparison to normal controls during both speech and silence. Methods: Eleven patients with unilateral vocal cord palsy (thyroldectomy=7, lung cancer=1, others=3) and 12 normal controls underwent FDG-PET with usual protocol. They were divided into two groups respectively; one group read books aloud for 20 minutes (phonation group) and the other kept silence (non-phonation groups) after FDG injection. Recent neck CT scan were co-registered with FDG-PET to produce PET-CT fusion images to elaborate small laryngeal muscles. Results: In patients with unilateral vocal cord palsy, contralateral non-paralyzed vocal cord showed hypermetabolism mainly on thyroarytenoid muscle, more intensely with phonation group ($SUV=5.88{\pm}2.65$) than with non-phonation group ($SUV=2.30{\pm}0.39$). Normal control subjects showed hypermetabolism ($3.68{\pm}0.96$) in interarytenoid muscle and symmetric mild hypermetabolism in both lateral cricoarytenoid muscles in only phonation group. Conclusion: FDG-PET with fusion images using CT scan in patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis showed hypermetabolism of contralateral non-paralyzed thyroarytenoid muscle, suggesting compensatory action during phonation. Phonation durung FDG PET study enhanced FDG uptake on different laryngeal muscles between patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis and normal subjects.

편측성대마비에 대한 치료방법으로 외측에 위치한 성대를 수술적으로 교정하려는 시도는 최근 활발하게 진행되어 Teflon 등을 이용한 성대내 이물주입술, 제Ⅰ형 갑상연골 성형술 및 피열연골 내전술등의 시술들이 시행되어 왔다. 저자들은 최근 후두와 종양으로 개두술을 시행받은 후 발생한 재발성 흡인성 폐렴 및 애성을 주소로 내원한 49세 남자환자를 원인 미상의 우측 편측성 성대마비로 진단하고 제Ⅰ형 갑상연골 성형술을 시행한 후 흡인성 폐렴 및 애성 등의 증상의 현저한 호전을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 술전 Maximal comfortable phonation time(MPT)이 6.24초에서 술후 17초로 증가하는 등 좋은 결과를 얻은 1례를 치험 하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

A series of 112 patients with vocal cord paralysis seen over the seven-year period(1986-1992) were analysed. The results were as follows ; 1. By sex distribution, the males were 71 cases(63.4%) and the females were 41 cases(36.6%). By age distribution, most of the cases were evenly distributed from the 4th decade to the 8th decade. 2. In the laterality of the paralysed vocal cord, 90 cases(80.4%) were in the left side and in position, most cases(76 cases;67.7%) were paramedian. 3. In etiology, most of the cases were neoplasm(46 cases;41.1%) followed by unknown origin(31 cases;27.7%). 4. In all 112 cases, 12 cases were managed by operations. 5. Spontaneous recovery was found in 11 patients, 8 cases were recovered within 2 months and the others were within 4 months.

Unilateral vocal cord paralysis is induced by various causes and its effective treatment has been diversely searched out until now. Currently used treatment modalities are intracordal injection of exogenous materials such as Teflon or Silicone, and thyroplasty and so forth. But, with the above mentioned modalities, it has been not satisfactory to obtain a good postoperative results especially in cases when the glottal incompetence is very severe or the level difference between the vocal cords is large. In such cases, vocal cord adduction can be accomplished by anteromedial traction of the muscular process of paralyzed vocal cord via surgical exposure resulting improvement of voice quality. Recently, authors performed arytenoid adduction in 3 cases of unilateral vocal cord paralysis to obtain a better improvement of voice quality, and experienced satisfiable postoperative results.

양측성 정중위 성대마비는 양측 반회신경의 마비나 윤상피열연골관절이 염증이나 외상에 의하여 고정되는 경우에 발생하며 조기에 심한 호흡곤란을 초래하게 되므로 기관절개술을 요하게 되고, 또한 영구적인 기도확보를 목적으로 Woodman(1946), Orton(1948), Thornell(1959), Downey(1968)등의 여러 학자들에 의하여 다양한 방법으로 피열연골에 대한 수술법이 시도되어 왔다. 최근 10년간 본 교실에서 양측성 정중위 성대마비 7례, 양측성 윤상피열연골관절고정 2례에 대하여 endolaryngeal arytenoidectomy (Thornell's method) 6례 , extralaryngeal arytenoidectomy 3례 (Woodman's method l례, Downey's method 2례)를 각각 시행하여 비교적 좋은 성적을 거두었기에 이들을 비교 검토하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Diplophonia is produced by the voice of two separate tones and produced through quasi-periodic variations in the vocal cord vibration. Diplophonia is generally regarded as a symptom of laryngeal pathology. The difference in the vibratory frequency between the vocal cords can be seen in a tension imbalance and a difference in the level of the vocal folds under the special condition such as incomplete glottal closure. So authors have experienced 19 cases of patient with diplophonia for the unilateral vocal cord paralysis, intracordal cysts and other mass lesions. And we analysed the diplophonic voice with peak variability and noise level for the quasi-periodic waveforms and spectrograms pre-and postoperatively.

성대의 bowing은 성대근의 위축, 노화, 상후두신경마비, 성대수술후, 성대구 등의 원인에 의하여 발생할 수 있으며, 대부분의 예에서 경도의 애성을 호소할 뿐만 아니라 아직 효과적인 치료법이 없기 때문에 적극적인 치료를 받지 못하고 장기간 애성을 호소하는 경우가 많다. 저자들은 성대의 bowing의 진단 및 치료에 도움을 얻고자 최근 2 년간 애성을 주소로 내원한 환자중 성대의 bowing을 보였던 25례(성대구 3례, 성대위축증 2례)을 대상으로 치료전ㆍ후의 음성기능을 분석하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
