What Does Palsy Of The Right Vocal Cord Mean?

I had a CT Scan of my neck region and the report stated: Suggestion of mild thickening of the mucosa within the pharyngeal region at the level of the epiglottis. Suggestion of palsy of the right vocal cord. I am scheduled to see an EENT in Sept but what does this mean. Thank you.
