A prospective studlt syslrtt.d potential use offibro Naso-Inrynglscope to assess the norphologl' of the larynx had been conducted in patients with hoarse voice s1,rtrytortr, du.e to variable causes. Forty one subjecl.s were exanined and ossessed prior to treatnrcnt to obtain the eract and definite cause of hoarseness.

We here present a case concerning a 69 year old female patient with Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). She was suffering from hoarseness due to a telangiectatic lesion on the right vocal cord. The lesion was treated with laser and the voice improved markedly, which is documented by phonetogram measurement. Patients with HHT who complain of hoarseness should be referred to an otolaryn...

The hoarseness diagram supplies a method to quantitatively describe the periodicity and the noise content of voices. It is based on four acoustic measures, three of which assess different aspects of periodicity (jitter, shimmer, mean period correlation) while one indicates the relative amount of additive noise (glottal to noise excitation ratio). The behavior of these measures is discussed in d...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis of the larynx is a rare form of tuberculosis. Patients usually present with hoarseness or dysphagia and other nonspecific constitutional symptoms like fever or localized pain. In this study, we present a case of primary vocal cord lesion with tuberculosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 72 year old man presented with hoarseness of voice, low grade fever, and night sweating with i...

This study aims to shed some light onto the relationship between the degree of hoarseness in children’s voices observed at different times during a day in pre-school and different aspects of their speech behaviour. Behavioural aspects include speech activity, phonation time, F0 variation, speech intensity and the relationship between speech intensity and background noise intensity. The results ...

Ortner syndrome or cardiovocal syndrome refers to hoarseness of voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis secondary to cardiovascular disease. We present three cases of Ortner syndrome in infants with congenital heart disease. All the three cases had moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension with moderately dilated pulmonary artery. We believe that the dilated pulmonary artery caused com...

Tuberculosis of the larynx is a rare form of tuberculosis. Patients usually present with hoarseness of voice or dysphagia and other nonspecific constitutional symptoms like fever or localized pain. We are reporting a case of 50 year old male who presented to us with hoarseness of voice, haemoptysis, dysphagia and a proliferative growth in the epiglottis which was diagnosed as laryngeal tubercul...
