    Abstract:
    Vocal ford paralysis is a condition often seen in otolaryngologic adult and pediatric clinics. We report a case we believe to be the youngest child to undergo ansa cervicalis (ansa) to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) reinnervation for unilateral vocal fold paralysis. We have included the preoperative and postoperative videostroboscopic and acoustic findings. The acoustic data shows improvement and is consistent with the patient's improved voice quality. Most notably the patient's voice quality is less raspy and his volume has improved while subjectively requiring less effort.
