What is laryngeal paralysis?

The term "laryngeal paralysis" is most often associated with animals, specifically dogs and horses. Veterinary medicine recognizes this condition as potentially serious because it can cause breathing interference to the moment of emergency. In humans, a similar condition called laryngeal nerve paralysis is considered to be similar problems. In both cases, the larynx marace is most easily referred to the paralysis of the larynx muscles, which usually download and expand during breathing. In other words, the normal function of the larynx is interrupted by the inability of the muscles to function properly. It may be an inherent state that affects puppies, but it seems that most cases indicate the problem that occurs in older dogs for reasons that are largely unknown. Potalization can occur gradually over time, represent problems with breathing and lapping for breath and is often referred to as noisy breathing and apparent emergency. Finally, an animal's emergency in breathing may lead to suffocation unless a veterinary treatment may include oxygen, sedation and intubaci. The larynx paralysis in animals may or may not be repaired by surgery and some animals will continue to suffer from ineffective respiratory trails.

In humans, nerve larynx paralysis is most often the result of tumor, larynx cancer or postoperative condition. In the case of postoperative larynx paralysis, this condition is associated with thyroid surgery, although it is considered an unusual complication. Patients may have either one -sided or bilateral paralysis of the larynx. Single indicates only one side, while bilateral refers to both. The uniform paralysis of the larynx or a one -sided voice summary may not be obvious immediately and can only be a hoarse of the voice, but deteriorates within a few days to weeks. On the other hand, the symptoms of bilateral paralysis of the neural paralysis of the larynx are more directly and may include respiratory problems or aspiration.

To better understandEven what happens when part of the larynx suffers from paralysis, the larynx anatomy would have to be studied. As part of the respiratory system, the larynx acts as a passage between the pharynx and the trachea. In humans, laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx, which results in sore throat, hoarse or loss of voice and difficult or painful swallowing. However, the inflammation that is present does not cause the muscles in the larynx to cease to function as in the larynx paralysis. For more information about this state of animals, see your veterinarian. As for questions or concerns about the function of larynx or symptoms of conditions and larynx disease, consult your doctor.
