Vocal Cord Paralysis And Ptosis

Tucker (1983) described a man with bilateral ptosis of the eyelids and bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis dating from birth. His daughter was born with the same combination of abnormalities. This may be different from either laryngeal abductor paralysis (150260, 308850) or laryngeal adductor paralysis (150270), assuming that the association of ptosis is more than coincidence.
