The symptoms of this affection are manifest, for the condition can im-mediately be recognized by the laryngoscope. When there is completeparalysis of the nerve the affected vocal cord, on attempted phonation, re-mains in the cadaveric position (see Fig. 92), whilst the healthy cord isadducted to, or even beyond, the median line, one corniculum laryngisoften crossing its fellow.
