OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI) is a known sequela of cardiovascular surgery. [] Key MethodSTUDY TYPE Case control. DESIGN Prospective case-control study. METHODS Forty-six consecutive infants from the CVICU were recruited, 23 with VFMI and 23 without based on FNL findings. They then underwent LUS, which was subsequently reviewed by two pediatric radiologists blinded to the FNL results. Physiologic parameters were recorded before and after the procedures.

Learning to Interpret Pediatric Vocal Fold Mobility: A Laryngeal Ultrasound Training Module
TLDR
LUS interpretation proficiency for VFMI was examined via an educational module and a secondary outcome was to determine whether quantitative measurements increase interpretation accuracy.
Point of care, clinician-performed laryngeal ultrasound and pediatric vocal fold movement impairment.
Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Immobility.
TLDR
Vocal fold immobility in children can affect breathing, swallowing, and speech function, and many treatment options exist to improve function and quality of life, including vocal fold injection and laryngeal innervation.
Laryngeal ultrasound and pediatric vocal fold nodules
TLDR
The goal of this project was to determine if laryngeal ultrasound (LUS) can be used to identify vocal fold nodules in dysphonic children.
Unilateral Vocal Fold Immobility in Children.
Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis: Workup and Management
TLDR
NSLR is emerging as the preferred treatment modality for pediatric unilateral VFMI due to neuronal injury, and LUS and LEMG may be used to predict voice outcomes after non-selective laryngeal reinnervation.
Neonatal Vocal Fold Paralysis.
TLDR
Long-term follow-up with otolaryngology and speech-language pathology service is necessary for all children with VFP to ensure adequate breathing, swallowing, and phonation.
Ultrasound of the vocal cords in infants
TLDR
Laryngeal US is an accurate and low-cost diagnostic test for vocal cord paralysis and has a lower physiological impact compared to flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy.
Vocal Fold Movement and Silent Aspiration After Congenital Heart Surgery
TLDR
The dysphagia in this population of infants who undergo congenital heart surgery is described and the associations between surgical complexity and vocal fold mobility with dysphagIA and airway protection are explored.
Pediatric Vocal Fold Paresis and Paralysis: A Narrative Review.
TLDR
Basic and clinical research is warranted to fully comprehend the complexity of this laryngeal movement disorder and to better inform and standardize clinical practice.

Laryngeal ultrasound to assess vocal fold paralysis in children.
TLDR
Laryngeal ultrasound is well-tolerated, safe and non-invasive and the authors feel that it is a useful adjunct to endoscopy in the diagnosis of vocal fold palsy.

Laryngoscopy of vocal fold paralysis: Evaluation of consistency of clinical findings
TLDR
The goal of this investigation was to evaluate laryngoscopic findings in VFP for inter‐ and intra‐rater consistency.
Assessment of vocal fold mobility before and after cardiothoracic surgery in children.
TLDR
The incidence of VFI after cardiothoracic surgery in the population of children was 8.0% (8 of 100), and factors found to be potentially associated with VFI on univariate analysis, none were significant on multivariate analysis.
Sonographic anatomy of the larynx, with particular reference to the vocal cords.
TLDR
Sonographic images of the vocal cords were obtained in 41 healthy human subjects using a phased array realtime ultrasound scanner and may prove to be a potentially useful technique for the examination of theVoice cords.
