Laryngeal paralysis is now a frequently recognized disorder, particularly in older dogs of certain breeds such as the Labrador retriever, Afghan Hound and Irish Setter. The presenting signs may consist of exercise intolerance, inspiratory stridor, inspiratory dyspnoea, gagging, coughing and dysphonia. Two forms of laryngeal paralysis exist, hereditary and acquired. The hereditary form is found in young dogs and transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene. At present little is known about the aetiology of acquired laryngeal paralysis and therefore treatment is directed at relieving the laryngeal obstruction. Recent reports indicate that arytenoid lateralization achieves the best results as a method of surgical correction.
喉麻痹现在是一种常见的疾病，特别是在某些品种的老年犬中，如拉布拉多寻回犬、阿富汗猎犬和爱尔兰雪达犬。临床表现可能包括运动不耐受、吸气性喘鸣、吸气性呼吸困难、作呕、咳嗽和发声障碍。喉麻痹有两种形式，遗传性和后天性。遗传性形式见于幼犬，由常染色体显性基因遗传。目前对后天性喉麻痹的病因了解甚少，因此治疗旨在缓解喉梗阻。最近的报告表明，杓状软骨外侧移位术作为一种手术矫正方法能取得最佳效果。
