[Dysphonia in adults caused by unilateral pseudohypertrophy of the ventricular band with deformation of the thyroid cartilage. Apropos of three cases].

The association of dysphonia appearing in adulthood with unilateral bulging of the false cord associated with a convex deformation of the overlying thyroid cartilage is to be remarked in three cases. The origin, which was presumably acquired by gradual deformation of the thyroid cartilage with age, is discussed in the light of the literature and the clinical history. A past traumatic cause can also be implicated (1 case). CT-Scan is essential for the diagnostic of the cartilage deformation and eliminates laryngeal tumors. In one of the cases reported, we were able to demonstrate the possibility of treatment by CO2 laser resection of the false cord hypertrophy.

Microsurgical treatment of benign vocal fold lesions: indications, technique, results.

This report summarises the joint experience of a surgeon and a phoniatrician, working as a team over a period of 20 years, carrying out 2,552 microsurgical operations on 2,334 patients with benign vocal fold lesions. The authors first present their procedure and then examine indications for surgery, surgical technique, postoperative follow-up and results for each pathology concerned. Phonosurgery with children (191 cases) and singers (128 cases) is given separate consideration. This work demonstrates the great interest of teamwork between phoniatrician and surgeon in phonosurgery.

Adult

[Modes of appearance of vocal cord polyps].

A certain number of polyps of the vocal folds result from violent, intense and unaccustomed physical activity. The development of these polyps is certainly linked to high subglottal pressure and the abrupt reduction of the same.

Adult

Epidermoid cysts, sulci, and mucosal bridges of the true vocal cord: a report of 157 cases.

Presented is a summary of our experience with 157 patients having a diagnosis of epidermoid cyst, glottic sulcus, or mucosal bridge of the true vocal cord. Each patient in this group was diagnosed and treated jointly by a phoniatrist and microlaryngoscopist and then evaluated for results of surgical and phoniatric therapy. Included in the discussion are methods of examination and diagnosis, microanatomy and histopathology of the lesions, methods of treatment, and results of treatment. An argument for a common etiology for these lesions is advanced.

Adolescent

Diagnosis and treatment of intracordal cysts.

Seventy-one cases of intracordal cysts are reported. They were all diagnosed between 1970 and 1980: 53 were epidermoid and 18 retention cysts. They caused longstanding dysphonia characterized by lowered tonality, huskiness, desonorization, and vocal strain. Clinical signs were often discrete and stroboscopy revealed a lack of vibrations on the cystic cord. Surgery was followed by vocal re-education and there was a high percentage of good vocal results.
