Abstract
The voice changes following VNS implantation may be due to direct injury to the vagus nerve at the time of implantation, these patients present with a true vocal cord paresis, or may result from coactivation of the efferent fibers of the recurrent laryngeal nerve by the VNS. The object of the study was to objectively document the incidence of these two forms of voice disorder following VNS insertion.
