In some cases, as inthe two illustrated above, (he loss or impairment of voice is thefirst intimation of the existence of serious disease. Diagnosis. The unaffected cord is seen to occupy the nor111:11 position in respiration, while the paralyzed cord,under theabducting influence of 1 he posterior crio >-•av\ tenoid, remains more or Less widelyseparated, and does not participate in theto and fro movement of 1 he unaffectedcord in the two phases of the respiratorymovement 1 Pig. 192). In attempted pho-nation the unaffected cord reaches ilfmiddle line, but the paralj zed cord failsto meet it 1 Pig. 193). In some instancesthe mobile cord crosses the middle line sufficiently to meet ili<:opposite cord, the supra-arytenoid cartilage passing to the in-. ngoftbeau* :it .1(111 652 AFFECTIONS OF THE LARYNX AND TRACHEA. side (Pig. 194). and pronation is thus effected. In cases asso-ciated with great tumefaction of the supra-arytenoid in tuberculosis, the appearances are similar (Figs. 195 and
