Injection Laryngoplasty Treatment for Vocal Atrophy in the Elderly
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Elderly patients present deterioration in voice quality due to anatomical and functional changes of the larynx associated with the aging process, and other voice disorders common in the elderly population. Identified causes of geriatric voice dysfunction include anatomic changes in the larynx such as vocal fold atrophy, central neurologic conditions (e.g. stroke, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, spasmodic dysphonia), impaired physiologic conditioning (e.g. decreased lung elasticity and compliance, reduced physical fitness), and pathologic lesions such as laryngeal carcinoma, benign vocal fold lesions (e.g. epithelial lesions, Reinke’s edema, cysts), inflammatory disorders (e.g., reflux laryngitis), infectious laryngitis (e.g., fungal laryngitis), vocal fold paralysis, and reflux laryngitis [1,2].
