MELKERSSON'S SYNDROME. MULTIPLE RECURRENCE OF BELL'S PALSY AND EPISODIC FACIAL EDEMA.

RECURRENT cranial-nerve palsies have been described in such disorders as diabetes mellitus, migraine, demyelinating diseases, aneurysms and myasthenia gravis. A lesser known entity is recurrent par...

THE POSITION OF PARETIC VOCAL CORDS.

Based on 883 cases of recurrent paralysis of which it was possible to re-examine the 346, the relation between the position of the paretic vocal cord and the clinical findings are discussed (Table 1). As the most plausible explanation of the fact that, in a small percentage of these cases the position of the paretic vocal cord and the clinical findings do not agree, partial denervation is mentioned.

A family with 11 affected members in three generations was reviewed, and one of the members, a 20-year-old male, was studied in some detail. Paralysis characteristically occurs during rest after physical exertion but can occur without preceding physical activity. Potassium administration can provoke paralytic attacks, and hunger often intensifies the degree of paralysis. The onset is usually during the first decade of life but can be later. The paralytic attacks are generally... This content is PDF only. To continue reading please click on the PDF icon. Author, Article, and Disclosure InformationAuthors: F. S.

Recurrent Paralysis and the then Position of the Vocal Cords

There is Semon's law on the position of the vocal cords in recurrent paralysis, while Wagner and Grossman's theory hols the different opinion.The authors had previously gained results sustaining Wagner and Grassman's theory, from electromyographical obsevations on the intrinsic laryngeal muscles in recurrent paralysis caused by cervical affection.Lately conducted werer electromyographical investigations on the intrinsic laryngeal muscles in such a condition caused by thoracic diseases und that of nuclear lesions causing syndromes of associated laryngeal paralysis.In cases with the recurrent nerves injured in the chest, the vocal cords held the paramedian position and no discharge was noticed electro-myographically from any intrinsic laryngeal muscle except the anticus.When the vocal cords held the paramedian position, the recurrent nerves were completely paralysed.In cares of nuclear lesions with both the recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves paralysed completely, discharge was absent in all the muscles including the anticus and the vocal cords held the intermediate position.

UNILATERAL ADDUCTOR PARALYSIS: Report of a Case

Pure adductor paralysis of the larynx appears to be sufficiently rare in the literature to be worthy of recording. A recent review by Waltz¹revealed that there was very little on the subject, either in case reports or in theoretical discussion. The entity is described briefly in textbooks, with a long list of rather indefinite causes. There is, of course, considerable literature on total or recurrent paralysis, and in such cases the causes and care appear to be well understood. I suspect that one reason for the apparent rarity of this lesion is that cases of laryngeal paralysis, whether with or without hoarseness, and whether the cord is in the cadaveric or in the midline position, are all classed together simply as recurrent laryngeal paralysis.²No serious attempt is made at differentiation. The vulnerability of the recurrent nerves, owing to their long looplike course in

VENTRICULOCORDECTOMY

The literature of laryngeal stenosis is so burdened by the premature reports of cases that I have waited for the lapse of time to prove the permanency of what I believe to be an ideal operation for the cure of that form of stenosis associated with bilateral recurrent paralysis when the stenosis is due solely to the paralysis. In these cases, tracheotomy has usually been already performed for urgent dyspnea and the patient comes to the laryngologist for decannulation. PREVIOUSLY DEVISED OPERATIONS The ideal operation would, of course, be the reestablishment of nerve continuity by resection and anastomosis, with or without transplantation. Obviously, this procedure would be limited to peripheral cervical lesions. It would be impracticable in laryngeal paralysis due to central or the usual mediastinal lesions. It has been done with an excellent result in a case of monolateral paralysis by J. Shelton Horsley and Clifton M. Miller. 1
