It is of the most serious voice producing larynx organ lesions. The paper presents the case of 53-year-old patient with a total neurogenic traumatic left vocal cord paralysis. The usefulness of an early phoniatric and logopedic rehabilitation by means of breathing and kinetic exercises, mechanotherapy and a vocalistic and phonetic method in order to obtain the improvement of the quality of voice in paralytic dysphonia was analysed.
