Laryngeal nerve injury

Laryngeal nerve injury occurs when the nerves that control the vocal cords are damaged. This can happen during surgeries in the neck or chest, or due to injury or certain medical conditions. The injury can lead to problems like hoarseness, difficulty speaking, or trouble breathing, as the vocal cords may not function properly. While some people recover with time, others may need speech therapy or medical treatment. Understanding this condition is crucial, especially for those at risk or experiencing related symptoms, as it can significantly affect communication and quality of life.
