Sensory innervation of the larynx was examined by tactile stimulation with a blunt biopsy forceps passed through a flexible videoendoscope. Twenty horses with no evidence of laryngeal motor deficit were stimulated on 10 sites by touch with the forceps. Unilateral neurectomies of the internal branch of the left cranial laryngeal nerve were performed on 5 other horses. These horses were stimulated by touch on the same sites preoperatively and up to 1 week postoperatively. In all 25 horses the motor response of the larynx was recorded on videotape and evaluated by 2 observers blind as to treatment and time of evaluation. Normal horses responded to touch by adduction of both arytenoid cartilages, swallowing or both. This response was not altered by sedation with xylazine hydrochloride. Left cranial laryngeal neurectomized horses failed to respond to tactile stimulation of the left side, while adduction of both cartilages, swallowing or both was observed following stimulation on the right side. Laryngeal stimulation by touch with a biopsy forceps was accurate in identifying horses with complete deficits of the internal branch of the cranial laryngeal nerve.
