The occurrence of laryngeal paralysis following endotracheal intubation in dogs is rare. A one-year-old canine was presented with aspiration pneumonia in the postoperative period following general anesthesia for acetabular denervation surgery. After a month of treatment for aspiration pneumonia, the patient had inspiratory stridor and dyspnea, and the diagnosis of unilateral laryngeal paralysis was made through laryngoscopy. Along with the benefits of endotracheal intubation come many risks. Laryngeal paralysis can be a serious complication, predisposing the patient to aspiration. This report is the second in veterinary medicine to describe laryngeal paralysis as a possible complication after endotracheal intubation in a dog.

Aim: The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) is considered to be the fusion point of the ultimabranchial body and the median thyroid body. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of TZ and its relationship with other anatomical variations and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis.
Material And Methods: Data regarding the thyroid lobe and RLN of patients with thyroidectomy between June 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

Introduction: Laryngeal cancer diagnosis relies on specialist examinations, but non-invasive methods using voice data are emerging with artificial intelligence (AI) advancements. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) are widely used for voice analysis, but Octave Frequency Spectrum Energy (OFSE) may offer better accuracy in detecting subtle voice changes.
Problem Statement: Accurate early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer through voice data is challenging with current methods like MFCC.

Objectives/hypothesis: Given the complex pathology underlying unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP), there has been limited systematic exploration of curative treatments in humans. Central to the investigation of experimental therapies includes establishing a reliable and analogous large animal model. The study goal was to create a standardized porcine model of UVFP by establishing characteristic pathophysiology and functional outcomes.

Objective: Tumors in the ventral craniocervical junction (CCJ) pose unique challenges, particularly in children. The potential constraints with endoscopic approaches to tumors extending inferiorly and laterally and the risk of CSF leakage can be exacerbated in the pediatric population. Here, the authors present their experience with the extreme lateral transodontoid (ELTO) approach in children with large ventral CCJ tumors as an alternative or complement to anterior approaches.

To explore the efficacy of ansa cervicalis anterior root-recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) anastomosis in the treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and to analyze the effect of different pathogenic factors on efficacy. From January 2010 to January 2022, 428 patients (187 males and 241 females) at Changhai Hospital with UVFP who underwent ansa cervicalis anterior root-RLN anastomosis due to thyroid surgery, thoracic surgery, idiopathic vocal ford paralysis or high cranial base injury were analyzed. The course of nerve injury ranged from 6 to 24 months.
