This report is a clinical experience of radiography and laryngeal EMG (Electromyography) assessment for the VCP. A 50-year-old woman with hoarseness, which was occurred after urethral diverticulum excision was examined by laryngoscopy. As a result of laryngoscopy, VCP was observed in left side of her vocal cord, and then recurrent laryngeal nerve damage was detected with additional CT (Computed tomography) scan and laryngeal EMG.
