Radiological correlates of vocal fold bowing as markers of Parkinson's disease progression: A cross-sectional study utilizing dynamic laryngeal CT.

<h4>Objective</h4>To determine whether arytenoid cartilage position and dynamics change with advancing duration and severity (as graded by MDS-UPDRS part III scores) in Parkinson's disease, in a cross-sectional study design, we performed laryngeal four-dimensional computed tomograph...

We measured on each CT volume the glottic area (GA), inter-arytenoid distance (IAD), IAD-Area index (IAI) and arytenoid cartilage velocity ([Formula: see text]).<h4>Results</h4>People with Parkinson's disease had reductions in the mean/effective minimum IAD when compared to controls, while mean/effective minimum GA and mean/effective maximum IAI were increased. Arytenoid cartilage velocities showed no difference. On Spearman correlation analyses, advancing disease duration and severity of PD showed moderately strong and significant correlations with increasing mean/effective minimum GA, increasing mean/effective maximum IAI and decreasing effective minimum IAD. Linear mixed models which considered the effects of intra and inter-individual variation showed that both disease duration (b = -0.011, SEb = 0.053, 95% CI [-0.022, 0], t(27) = -2.10, p = 0.045) and severity (b = -0.069, SEb = 0.032, 95% CI [-0.14,-0.0039], t(27) = -2.17, p = 0.039) were significant predictors for IAD, and also for transformed values of the GA and IAI.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There are progressive alterations in phonatory posturing as Parkinson's disease advances.
