This
video shows the function
of a
larynx
with a left
superior laryngeal nerve
paralysis. This
paralysis usually does not significantly affect the speaking voice but
often affects singing. In this patient, the speaking voice is
affected. Note that the loss of the function of the left
cricothyroid muscle
results in the shifting of the
supraglottis
to the right
and
a shortening of the right
true vocal cord.
