voice disorders /treatment Flashcards
- small nodes that develop on vocal folds and protrude
- at first reddish and pinkish
- as they develop, turn whitish and grayish
- typically appear anterior ⅔ of folds or at junction of folds
- more pronounced at first but diffuse over time
- increase mass of folds causing slower vibration
- usually bilateral
vocal nodule
abuse disorder
- soft masses that grow and bulge
- may be filled with fluid or have vascular tissue
- tend to be unilateral
- can grow over time or happen instantly
- more frequently seen in adults than children
polyps
abuse disorder
- crater like sores of unlacerated, granulated tissue that develop
- usually bilateral
- usually along posterior third of glottal
contact ulcers
abuse disorder
- slow and gradual thickening of anterior 2/3s of folds
- precursor to nodules or polyps
vocal fold thickening
abuse disorder
-irritation to folds that causes swelling.
traumatic laryngitis
abuse disorder
:-Localized, inflammatory vascular lesion usually composed of granular tissue in a firm rounded sac
Granuloma
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
-similar to granulomas but soft, pliable and filled with blood
Hemangioma
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
- benign growths of thick, whitish patches
- considered precancerous can develop into squamous cell carcinoma
Leukoplakia
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
- rough , pinkish lesion
- often benign but precursors to malignancy
Hyperkeratosis
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
- aka congenital laryngeal stridor
- soft, floppy cartilages
- when child breathes, epiglottis resists airstream causing stridor
Laryngomalacia
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
-narrowing of subglottic space
Subglottal Stenosis
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
-many kinds of injury
Laryngeal Trauma
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
-membrane that grows across anterior portion of epiglottis
Laryngeal Web
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
- occur primarily in children
- wart like growths
- pink, white or both
Papilloma
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
- focal laryngeal dystonia
- average onset is between 40-50
- reated by intermittent, involuntary, fleeting vocal fold abduction during phonation.
Abductor Spasmodic Dysphonia
Physically and Neurologically Based Disorders of Phonation
