Voice Disorder-Phonotrauma Flashcards
1
Q
Polyp
A
Phonotrauma Unilateral Can be anywhere along vocal fold Due to one incident Causes breathy, horse, strained voiced Diplophonia
2
Q
Reinkes Edmena
A
Phonotrauma Bilateral or unilateral More common in female Related to smoking Swelling in membranous length of VF DECREASED vibration because of increased VF mass Fluid builds up in SLP (superficial lamina propria) COMPLETE Closure
3
Q
Traumatic laryngitis
A
Phonotrauma
Caused my excessive yelling
VF swell
Voice is hoarse, breathy low pitch (can resolve in two weeks)
Can develop chronic laryngitis if yelling continues
4
Q
VF hemorrhage
A
Phono trauma
Can be caused by taking medication (IBprofen, aspirin) then screaming
Ruptured blood vessel in sub mucosal layer
Increase stiffness and mass reducing VF vibration; decrease pitch and loudness
Causes hoarseness, dysphonia to aphonia
Patchy red area on VF surface
5
Q
BF Varices and Ectasia
A
Phono trauma Common in women Blood vessels in the membranous portion of the superficial lamina propria (SLP CAN BE RELATED TO HORMONAL CYCLE decreases mucosal wave Hoarseness and decreased pitch range
6
Q
VF Cysts
A
Phonotrauma Sacs of tissue usually unilateral Common in women Cause blockage of mucosal granular duct with retention on mucus Mucosal wave is absent Rough, breathy voice, low pitch Hourglass closure, irregular Has a true capsule
Pseudo cysts- do not have capsule and they occur mid fold
7
Q
Nodules
A
Phonotrauma Bilateral (anterior 1/3, posterior 2/3) Decrease mucosa wave More common in women than men, more common in boys than girls Due to prolonged abuse Causes breathy, strained voice
