Airway glottic insufficiency is characterized by incomplete closure of the vocal folds during phonation, resulting in an increased risk of aspiration and the development of laryngeal symptoms such as dysphonia and dysphagia. This condition can manifest diverse laryngeal symptoms, including dysphonia, dysphagia, and recurrent lung infections due to aspiration. The underlying causes of glottic insufficiency are extensive and encompass various factors that hinder complete vocal fold closure, whether static or dynamic. These factors include neoplasms, focal neurological deficits, trauma, functional disorders, and other contributing elements. This activity reviews evaluation strategies and etiology, identifies associated risks, provides best-practice treatment, and emphasizes the collaborative role of the interprofessional healthcare team in managing glottic insufficiency.
