  2. Vocal cord nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cord_nodule

    One of the major perceptual signs of vocal fold nodules is a change in the quality of the voice. [1] The voice may be perceived as hoarse, [4] [5] due to aperiodic vibrations of the vocal folds, [5] and may also be perceived as breathy, [4] [5] due to an incomplete closure of the vocal folds upon phonation.

  3. Vocal cord cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cord_cyst

    A videostroboscopy is an examination of the vocal folds using flashes of light to slow down the image of the vocal fold movement enough to provide a sharp picture of the phases of the movement cycle (mucosal wave.) [13] This procedure provides information about vocal fold vibrations during speech, vocal intensity and vocal frequency. [11]

  4. Vocal cords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cords

    Vocal fold injuries can have a number of causes including chronic overuse, chemical, thermal and mechanical trauma such as smoking, laryngeal cancer, and surgery. Other benign pathological phenomena like polyps, vocal fold nodules and edema will also introduce disordered phonation. [34]

  5. Reinke's edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinke's_edema

    Reinke's edema is characterized by a "sac-like" appearance of the vocal folds. [6] The edema is a white translucent fluid that causes a bulging ( distension ) of the vocal cord. [ 2 ] [ 14 ] The most common clinical symptom associated with Reinke's edema is an abnormally low pitched voice with hoarseness.

  6. Diplophonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplophonia

    Diplophonia is a result of vocal fold vibrations that are quasi-periodic in nature. [2] It has been reported from old days, but there is no uniform interpretation of established mechanisms. [ 3 ] It has been established that diplophonia can be caused by various vocal fold pathologies, such as vocal folds polyp , vocal fold nodule , recurrent ...

    The surgery will involve removing the lesion on Sheinelle's vocal fold. It will take about an hour, and afterward, she will be on vocal rest for two weeks. That means she won't be able to talk at all.

  8. Muscle tension dysphonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_tension_dysphonia

    Vocal fold lesions such as a vocal fold nodule or other changes in the vocal fold mucosa can lead to increased tension in the larynx and cause dysphonia. [2] Larynogopharyngeal reflux, a process that is similar to GERD, can bring stomach acid into the larynx. This can provoke the larynx to tense to prevent the aspiration of the acid. [3]

  9. Arytenoid cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arytenoid_cartilage

    The posterior surface is triangular, smooth, concave, and gives attachment to the arytenoid muscle and transversus.. The antero-lateral surface is somewhat convex and rough. On it, near the apex of the cartilage, is a rounded elevation (colliculus) from which a ridge (crista arcuata) curves at first backward and then downward and forward to the vocal process.
