[Diagnostic and prognostic significance of electromyography in laryngeal movement disorders].

Electromyography of the larynx has been increasingly used during recent years in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of laryngeal motility disorders. The method is routinely employed at the university ENT department in Göttingen. The qualitative experience gained with regard to the diagnostic and prognostic value of electromyography in the region of the larynx is described and compared with the results and experience reported so far in the literature.
