Dysphonia related to medical therapy.

It is essential for laryngologists, speech and language pathologists, and others caring for professional voice users to be familiar with the potential vocal effects of any substance ingested by a professional voice patient. This article reviews pharmacologic agents that may have laryngeal side effects. Essentially, any ingested substance is suspect as a cause for voice dysfunction. It is also necessary for laryngologists to educate voice professionals about the consequences of drugs on the voice and the potential problems associated with properly prescribed medication.

Voice range in superior laryngeal nerve paresis and paralysis.

Evaluation of Physiologic Frequency Range (PFR) and Musical Frequency Range (MRP) of Phonation was performed on 56 adults (singers and nonsingers) presenting with superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) paresis or paralysis confirmed by laryngeal electromyography. The most common etiology was neuritis (69.7%), followed by iatrogenic and unknown causes,each accounting for 10.2% of cases, and finally trauma (8.9%). Both female and male singers with SLN paresis or paralysis had significantly higher PFR and MPR than nonsingers. Female classical singers presented PFR and MPR of up to 10 semitones (ST) higher than nonclassical singers and nonsingers. The lowest PFR and musical ranges were found in patients with SLN paresis associated with recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis or paralysis. The authors suggest that voice range measurement is a useful parameter for analyzing the effects of SLN paresis or paralysis on voice and that it may also assist in measuring outcome following voice therapy.

Cricothyroid joint injury.

Cricothyroid joint injuries may result in severe voice dysfunction and may be associated with laryngeal pain. Otolaryngologists and radiologists should be familiar with this rarely recognized injury.
