Q

Recurrent Laryngeal Branch of the Vagus:

A

Right – loops behind R carotid & R subclavian

Left – loops around aortic arch

Motor: TA of vf, PCA (abductor), LCA (adductor), transverse arytenoids (adduction), oblique arytenoids (adduction) + all other laryngeal m.’s

*Very concerned with recurrent laryngeal nerve bc can cause vocal fold paralysis

17
Q

Neurogenic Etiologies (3):

A
  • Congenital (Huntington’s)
  • Lesion/tumor/disease (dysarthrias [can be caused by ALS or Parkinson’s], stroke, cancer)
  • Trauma (TBI, n. trauma)
18
Q

Neurogenic Disorders can be:

A
  • Lower motor neuron
  • Upper motor neuron
  • Mixed (upper + lower motor neuron type)
    ALS (most common), TBI, MS
19
Q

Lower motor neuron damage can cause (4):

A
  • Vocal fold paralysis - part 2
  • MG
  • Guillaine-Barré
  • Flaccid dysarthria
20
Q

Upper motor neuron damage can cause (4):

A
  • Spastic dysarthria
  • Hypokinetic dysarthria (PD)
  • Hyperkinetic dysarthria (Spasmodic dysphonia - SD voice samples - NPRs Diane Rehm, essential tremor Huntington’s)
  • Ataxic dysarthria
21
Q

Mixed (upper + lower motor neuron type) (3):

A
  • ALS (most common)
  • TBI
  • MS
22
Q

Paramedial Position:

A

if a vocal fold is paralyzed in this position, the other vocal fold can compensate

23
Q

Spasmodic dysphonia can look a lot like muscle tension dysphonia. How do you tell the difference?

A

Muscle Tension Dysphonia isn’t neurological

Test the difference by looking at them while they laugh or yawn. MTD will back off when the patient is relaxed, SD will not bc it is neurological

24
Q

Types of Spasmodic Dysphonia (3):

A

Abductor Spasmodic dysphonia
Adductor Spasmodic dysphonia
OR Mixed Spasmodic dysphonia

  • can also get laryngeal tremor with these
  • not painful, but AD type can feel the strain
  • usually do not get a functional disorder on top of this disorder
  • proximal dyskinesia: movements not done on purpose also can coincide
  • treat with Botox injected in the thyroarytenoid muscles
  • Diane NPR has Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia (hyperkinetic dysarthria)
25
Q

Abductor Spasmodic dysphonia:

A

vocal folds spasm open, breathy voice not common

26
Q

Adductor Spasmodic dysphonia:

A

vocal folds spasm closed (similar to how a spastic dysarthria patient sounds) most common

27
Q

OR Mixed Spasmodic dysphonia:

A

where they spasm open and they spasm closed

28
Q

Lower Motor Neuron Damage can cause (5):

A
  • Flaccidity, weakness, reduced m. contraction, reduced ROM
  • Flaccid dysarthria
  • Vf paralysis or paresis (damage to recurrent laryngeal will result in paresis (sluggish or slow movement of the VF) OR paralysis)
  • MG
  • Guillaine-Barré

*Generally unilateral and will be ipsilateral

29
Q

Why should you wait a year to do permanent surgery for vocal fold paralysis?

A
  • A paralysis CAN turn into a paresis through regeneration (nerves CAN regenerate but it is VERY slow [up to a year])
  • Wait a year to do permanent surgery for vocal fold paralysis: putting a silicone thingy in there to push the vocal fold
30
Q

UMN Damage can cause (4):

A
  1. Spastic dysarthria
  2. Hypokinetic dysarthria
  3. Hyperkinetic dysarthria
  4. Ataxic dysarthria
31
Q

Spastic dysarthria

A
  • Spasticity/hypertonicity
  • Strain/strangle
  • Short phonation time
  • Monopitch
32
Q

Hypokinetic dysarthria

A
  • Rigidity
  • Bradykinesia
  • Limited ROM
  • Resting tremor
  • Parkinson’s
  • reduced loudness, short phonation time (effects both laryngeal and respiratory muscles), vocal fold muscles are not getting input for muscle tone—get boding of the muscles
33
Q

Hyperkinetic dysarthria

A
  • Uncontrolled movements
  • Strain/strangle
  • Chorea
  • Huntington’s
34
Q

Ataxic dysarthria

A
  • Cerebellar lesion
  • Prosodic slowdown
  • Resonance changes
  • Inarticulation
  • “intoxicated”
  • cerebellum is affected (not precise movements), can affect gait (goes towards the affected side, stumbbling like drunk)
35
Q

What is bradykinesia?

A

slow movement

36
Q

Parkinson’s (hypokinetic dysarthria):

A
  • hunched gait
  • bode appearance of the vocal folds. Basal ganglia is not making dopamine (Nuerotrasmitter), so tone is not there.
  • This causes resting tremor, some rigidity, muscle weakness, muscles have weakened and vocal folds will bode, and incomplete vocal fold closure bc of the lack of dopamine going to the muscles.
37
Q

Mixed Dysarthria (types):

A

Mix of dysarthria types (usually spastic & flaccid)

  1. ALS – UMN & LMN
  2. MS – myelin sheath degeneration
  3. TBI - variable
38
Q

Why do we need myelin and what happens when it degenerates? (like in MS)

A
  • Need myelin for protection of the axon AND rapid transmission (like needed for speech):
  • Muscles will start atrophying if the axon is getting damaged
