| Abstract |
Vocal cord paralysis (VCP) can be caused by any process that interferes with the normal function of the vagal nerves or recurrent laryngeal nerves. It may be a first sign of extensive and severe pathology. Radiologists must therefore be able to recognise the imaging findings of VCP and know the course of the vagal and recurrent laryngeal nerves. This review focuses on the anatomy and imaging evaluation of these nerves and thereby the possible sites for pathology causing VCP. The imaging characteristics and imaging mimics of VCP are discussed and cases from daily practice illustrating causes of VCP are presented. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 December 2023.
All research outputs
#6,556,178
of 25,617,409 outputs
Outputs from Insights into Imaging
#394
of 1,267 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#65,399
of 268,567 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Insights into Imaging
#3
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,617,409 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,267 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,567 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
