This video shows the function of a larynx with a left true vocal cord paralysis in a 89 year old female with recurrent papillary carcinoma. The patient had a total thyroidectomy performed 2 1/2 years ago. During the initial surgery, cancer was stripped off the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. The patient had a Stage III carcinoma. She received initial I-131 treatment and then was lost to follow-up.
