abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical features and medication of unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-nine of medical treated patients with unilateral idiopathic vocal fold paralysis were retrospectively studied, and relevant literatures were reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After 4 to 19 days of medical therapy, 9 patients were cured, the vocal fold movement of 18 sufferers were improved, and 12 pantients were not healed.
