There are multiple definitions:
viral citrullinated peptide(English)

- can be caused by any process that interferes with the normal function of the vagal nerves or recurrent laryngeal nerves. May be a first sign of extensive and severe pathology. Radiologists must therefore be able to recognize the pertinent imaging findings and know the course of the vagal and recurrent laryngeal nerves. The vocal cords play a crucial role in phonation. The muscles that are responsible for vocal cord movement are mainly innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerves, being branches of the vagal nerves. VCP can therefore be caused by any lesion along the course of the vagal nerves above the branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerves or of the recurrent laryngeal nerves itself. An offending lesion located in the brainstem or the skull base usually results in multiple cranial nerve deficits because at this level the vagal nerve is intimately related to other cranial nerves. VCP most frequently affects one side but can be bilateral. Due to the long anatomical course of the vagal and recurrent laryngeal nerves, there are many disease processes that can cause VCP, including surgery, malignancy, trauma, infection and inflammation
