Case study: Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (Adessa, 2021)

Purpose: A clinical case of unilateral vocal fold paralysis is presented with case history, auditory-perceptual analysis and accompanying audio files and ratings, videostroboscopic files and ratings, and acoustic analysis, as well as impressions and plan for treatment.

Method: A single clinical case of unilateral vocal fold paralysis is presented for learning purposes.

Results: Clinical keys are provided for learning.

Conclusion: Learners will be able to follow a clinical case to aid in perceptual, videostroboscopic, acoustic, and voice assessment and goal and treatment planning.
