Amaç:Unilateral vokal kord paraizileri (UVKP) vokal kordlarÖn sinirin etkilenme düzeyine ba lÖ olarak farklÖ pozisyonlarda fikse olmasÖyla karakterizedir. Rekürren laringeal sinir ve vagal sinirin uzun seyri boyunca kar Öla tÖ Ö herhangi bir lezyon vokal kord paralizisine neden olabilir.Bu çalÖ manÖn amacÖ UVKPnin nedenlerini ve hastalarÖn demografik verilerini incelemektir.Yöntemler: 2013-2015 yÖllarÖ arasÖnda klini imize ba vuran 47 UVKP hastasÖnÖ etiyolojik açÖdan incelendi ve ya , cinsiyet ve lezyonun tarafÖna göre de erlendirildi. 40 ya altÖ (15 hasta) ve 40 ya üstü (32 hasta) hastalar iki grup halinde etiyolojik nedene göre kar Öla tÖrÖldÖ.Bulgular: KadÖn ve erkek sayÖlarÖ arasÖnda istatistiksel olarak anlamlÖ bir fark izlenmedi (p=0,307). Sa ve sol taraflÖ lezyonlar arasÖnda istatistiksel olarak anlamlÖ bir fark izlenmedi (p=0,884). Tiroidektomi en sÖk UVKP nedeniydi (%55,3). 40 ya üstünde tiroidektomi en sÖk nedenken (%68,7 p=0,017), bunu maligiteler takip etmekteydi.40 ya altÖnda en sÖk cerrahi olmayan nedenler olarak bulundu (%66,7 p=0,028). Cerrahi olmayan nedenlerin en ba Önda ise idiopatik UVKP yer almaktaydÖ. Tiroidektomi ise 40 ya altÖnda ikinci sÖklÖkta görü-len nedendi. Cinsiyetler arasÖnda etiyolojide bir fark izlenmedi. Sadece idiopatik UVKP hastalarÖnda taraf üstünlü ü mevcuttu ve bu grupta taraf üstünlü ü sol tarafaydÖ.Sonuç: UVKP klinikte glottik yetmezlik yapan en sÖk nedenlerden biri olup etyolojinin belirlenmesi prognoz ve ek hastalÖklarÖn tespiti açÖsÖndan oldukça önemlidir. Özellikle 40 ya üstü vakalarda maligniteler UVKP nin sÖk nedenlerinden biri oldu undan ayrÖntÖlÖ fizik muayene ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile inceleme yapÖlma-lÖdÖr.Anahtar Sözcükler: Unilateral Vokal Kord Paralizisi, Tirodektomi, Rekürren Laringeal Sinir Objective: Unilateral vocal cord paralysis (UVCP) is characterized with fixation of vocal cords at different positions depending on the level where the nerves is affected. Along the long course of recurrent laryngeal and vagal nerve any lesion may lead to vocal cord paralysis. The aim of this study is to analyse causes of UVCP and demographic findings of the patents. Methods:We reviewed 47 patients with UVCP who applied to our clinic between 2013-2015 etiologically and analysed them according to age, gender and side of the lesion. We compare patients in two groups, under 40 years old (15 patients) and over 40 years old (32 patients) according to their ethiology.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the numbers of male and female patients (p=0,307). There was no statistically significant difference between right and left sided lesions (p=0,884). Thyroidectomy was the most frequent cause of UVCP (55,3%). While thyroidectomy was the most common cause over the age of 40 (68,7% p=0,017), this was followed by malignancies. We found nonsurgical causes as the most common cause under the age of 40 (66,7% p=0,028). Among them idiopathic UVCP was at the top of the nonsurgical causes. Thyroidectomy was the second common cause under the age of 40. Th...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
