Cross-sectional imaging can be used to trace the course of the vagus nerve and its laryngeal branches to detect many of the causes of vocal fold paralysis. The most frequent aetiologies are surgical injury and tumoural involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve anywhere along its course.
This review article focuses on the uncommon and rare causes of vocal fold paralysis that have been detected or diagnosed on cross-sectional imaging.
Uncommon causes included a tortuous oesophagus, tracheal diverticulum, cervical osteophytes and cardiovocal syndrome. These examples are presented with clinical case histories and radiological appearances, and are discussed in the context of the current literature.
横断面成像可用于追踪迷走神经及其喉部分支的走行，以检测许多导致声带麻痹的原因。最常见的病因是喉返神经在其走行过程中任何部位的手术损伤和肿瘤累及。
这篇综述文章聚焦于通过横断面成像检测或诊断出的声带麻痹的罕见病因。
罕见病因包括食管迂曲、气管憩室、颈椎骨赘和心血管性发声障碍综合征。文中通过临床病例和影像学表现展示了这些病例，并结合当前文献进行了讨论。
