Thyroplasty

Thyroplasty is performed on the voice box. Hoffman and McCullouch reported the first case of medialization thyroplasty using Gor-Tex in May 1996. In medialisation laryngoplasty, a window is cut in the thyroid lamina in the neck on the paralysed side and the piece of thyroid cartilage is depressed inward towards the midline until the normal cord touches the paralysed cord, thus closing the glottic gap resulting in normal voice.

Health Q&A
EFFECT OF MONTICEPA TABLETS

History: I have been diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). It has been 28 days now, and my ear symptoms are feeling better than before. Current Medicine: For this, I have been taking Monticope tablet once daily for the last 14 days. New Symptoms (Side Effects): I am experiencing sleep paralysis (unable to move while waking up/sleeping). Continuous hand muscle twitching starting from last night. Feeling severely depressed or low mood (mood off). Since Monticope contains Montelukast, I am worried about these neuropsychiatric side effects. Since my ETD is improving, please suggest a safe alternative medicine or nasal spray to replace Monticope. Thank you.
