11. Increased incidence of complications have been reported for arytenoid adduction compared to medialization thyroplasty. 12. Laryngeal paralysis can be unilateral or bilateral depending upon dysfunction of one or both arytenoid cartilages. 13. The mass corresponding to the innermost part of the thyro-arytenoid muscle remains still and motionless. 14. The arytenoid adduction procedure alleviates these symptoms by manually positioning the paralyzed vocal cord towards the midline. 15. I just tried " trachea arytenoid hyoid vocal " ( without the quotes ) and got this :. 16. Arytenoid adduction with or without medialization thyroplasty significantly improves quality of life for patients with vocal cord paralysis.17. The walls of the larynx are able to contract which may generate sound with support from the arytenoid cartilages. 18. I've got down for the cartilages the cricoid, thyroid, cuneiforms, corniculates, and arytenoids . 19. The cricoid and thyroid are single ( unpaired ) cartilages while the cuneiforms, corniculates and arytenoids are paired. 20. The Supraglottic area including epiglottis, arytenoids and false cords are usually involved due to their rich lymphatic supply.
