Mr. Scоtt, а 40-yeаr-оld millwright, presented with аn 8-mоnth history of voice difficulty. His dysphonia began after anterior-approach cervical disk surgery. He could not return to work because his co-workers could not hear him in the noisy work environment. The SLP observed he occasionally coughed and choked after swallowing and had to clear his throat frequently. Speech and oral mechanism examination were normal except for markedly breathy-hoarse voice, moderately decreased loudness, and short phrases. He could sustain "ah" and "z" for only 2 seconds but sustained "s" for 12 seconds. His cough and glottal coup were markedly weak. There was no palatal asymmetry, the palate was mobile, and the gag was normal. What do you suspect is the correct diagnosis for this patient?
