[Functional status of the autonomic nervous system in patients with polyps of the vocal cords].

Assessment of functional state of the autonomic nervous system (tonicity, reactivity, support of the cardiovascular system) was made in 34 patients aged 18-64 years admitted to the ENT Research Institute for removal of laryngeal tumors. All the patients were diagnosed to have polyps of the vocal folds. Comprehensive studies suggest the conclusion on morphofunctional changes in the vocal folds which combine with adaptation-trophic disorders in the autonomic nervous system.
