Summary Various clinical types of laryngeal paralysis may result in different degrees of dysphonia ranging from breathiness to aphonia. Nonsurgical, rehabilitative efforts to restore proper laryngeal valving can be effectively administered only when one understands the nature of the paralysis in relation to its neuromuscular pathology. This paper briefly reviews laryngeal neuroanatomy, discusses various types of laryngeal paralyses and their etiologies, and presents a repertoire of therapeutic principles and exercises for vocal rehabilitation.
