Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterised by progressive hemifacial atrophy with appearance of 'saber'. Various neurological and otorhinolaryngological disorders are associated with this syndrome. The association of Parry -Romberg syndrome with Spasmodic dysphonia has rarely
Based on the experimental results of thyroplasty, thyroplasty type I which aims at medical shifting the vocal cord was performed on 8 patients with dysphonia, 6 with vocal cord paralysis and 2 with vocal cord atrophy. The surgery was conducted on either in- or out-patient basis and local anesthesia
OBJECTIVE
The current trends in geriatric voice referrals including the number of patients over the age of 65 years seen per year, the common diagnostic patterns, and specifically the number of patients with vocal atrophy were assessed.
METHODS
Retrospective cohort study.
METHODS
A retrospective
Autogenous fat augmentation for glottic insufficiency has been used previously in patient treatment regimes. However, relatively little information is currently available regarding the effectiveness of fat injection for patients with vocal fold atrophy who have complete glottal closure (VFACGC).
Vocal symptomatology of 24 patients was assessed following the removal of polyps (12 cases) and polypoid degeneration (12 cases). In addition to fundamental frequency, hoarseness type was measured using the spectrographic system developed by Yanagihara which assesses harmonic structure of phonemes
Mutational falsetto is the failure of the normal drop in vocal pitch at puberty. Voice therapy almost always achieves an appropriate pitch; however, in cases of failure, surgical treatment has also been recommended. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with an above-average fundamental frequency
To elucidate the etiology and pathophysiology of spasmodic dysphonia, we examined the adductor branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle from 9 consecutive patients with this disorder who were previously treated with botulinum toxin. Histologic examination
Impact in vocal quality in partial myectomy and neurectomy endoscopic of thyroarytenoid muscle in patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia the adductor spasmodic dysphonia is a severe vocal disorder characterized by muscle laryngeal spasms during speech, producing phonatory breaks, forced,
It has been reported that there were no significant changes in the recurrent laryngeal nerves of patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia, which could explain the cause of this disease. However, the researchers who made these reports appeared to have investigated only the extralaryngeal part of
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to assess voice after radiotherapy compared with patients with presbylaryngeal dysphonia.
METHODS
Prospective assessment of 20 patients aged 60+ years who remained free of disease longer than 1 year after radiotherapy for T1 squamous cell carcinoma and
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a primary focal dystonia of unknown pathophysiology, characterized by involuntary spasms in the laryngeal muscles during speech production. We examined two rare cases of postmortem brainstem tissue from SD patients compared to four controls. In the SD patients, small
The authors describe the case history of a patient who suffered from symptoms deriving from two different origins. The patient's voice was spasmodic dysphonia-like interrupted and pressed. At the same time, his voice was powerless, too. The reason for this was that besides the spasmodic dysphonia
Many surgical approaches have been developed for the treatment of adduction-type spasmodic dysphonia (SPD). We developed and performed a new type of surgical approach (autologous replacement of the vocal fold). Our new surgical technique increases the advantages and decreases the disadvantages of
This cross-sectional investigation examined the prevalence and severity of dysphonia, globus pharyngeus, and dysphagia in patients affected by immunomediated (IM) diseases. Seventy subjects were administered the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) (scale 0-4), Glasgow-Edinburgh Throat Scale (GETS) (scale
