Reevaluation of FDG-PET/CT in patients with hoarseness caused by vocal cord palsy
2012
Objective
Vocal cord palsy (VCP) is a potential cause of hoarseness that results in decreasing mobility of the vocal cord. VCP can arise from a variety of causes; so, systematic screening is warranted for the management of patients with VCP. Asymmetrical fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in vocal cords is a well-known feature in patients with VCP, but no detailed analysis has been performed. This study aimed at reevaluating the 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for patients with VCP.
