Vocal fold immobility in children can affect breathing, swallowing, and speech function. Although sometimes idiopathic, it is often caused by injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve during cardiac surgery. A detailed history and physical examination can identify risk factors, which affect the rate of resolution and overall prognosis. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy can be used to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate laryngeal anatomy. Many treatment options exist to improve function and quality of life, including vocal fold injection and laryngeal innervation. [Pediatr Ann. 2021;50(7):e286-e291.].
