Thirty-five patients with a vocal fold polyp underwent transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy, rigid laryngostroboscopy, and LEMG. The findings were compared between the LEMG-confirmed vocal fold paresis patients and the normal LEMG patients. LEMG resulted in a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral vocal fold paresis in 17 of 35 patients (48.6%). More men than women with vocal fold polyps had vocal fold paresis (p<0.05). The vocal fold paresis group had higher presence of axial rotation and hypomobility of vocal folds, higher asymmetry of vertical height of vocal folds, and less presence of longitudinal stretch of vocal folds (p<0.05). Medial-lateral compression of the false vocal folds and anterior-posterior approximation of the larynx did not show any difference between the groups. No significant difference was found in vibratory wave characteristics between the groups through rigid laryngostroboscopy. Vocal fold paresis was present in almost half of the patients with vocal fold polyps. Paresis can only be accurately diagnosed with LEMG. Transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopic examination is helpful to recognize vocal fold paresis in vocal fold polyp patients, while stroboscopic examination is not useful to identify it in vocal fold polyp patients.
