Prognosis of Dysphagia in Pediatric Patients With Vocal Fold Immobility
Based on the study results, about half of pediatric patients with vocal fold hypo/immobility will have resolution of dysphagia at about 10.5 weeks. This may helpful when deciding on when to obtain follow up imaging/exam on pediatric patients with dysphagia. The only factor that confers improved prognosis is hypomobility when compared to complete immobility.
