Voice disorders are medical conditions affecting the production of speech. These include:
The inflammation of vocal cords (vocal folds) usually as a result of voice abuse but sometimes because of cancer.
It is a mass of tissue that grows on the vocal folds (vocal cords). Typically, this mass will appear on the junction of the anterior and middle two-thirds of the vocal fold, where contact is most forceful.
Vocal fold cysts are collections of fluid in sac-like formations on the vocal folds.
- Vocal cord paresis(paralysis)
It is weakness of one or both vocal folds. Symptoms of paresis include hoarseness; vocal fatigue; mild to severe reduction in vocal volume; pain in the throat when speaking; shortness of breath; aspiration (food or liquids going down the trachea) with frequent resultant coughing, and in extreme cases may cause death.
It, also known as polypoid degeneration, is the swelling of the vocal folds due to fluid collection (edema).
It is a voice disorder characterized by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx (vocal folds or voice box) during speech.
It is a rare medical condition involving speech production that usually occurs as a side effect of severe brain injury, such as a stroke or head trauma.
It is a vocal misuse disorder. People most commonly afflicted are those who speak in a low-pitched voice, particularly if they have poor breath and vocal control.
It is a rare medical condition (2 per 100,000 adults and 4.5 per 100,000 children), caused by a HPV infection of the throat.
It is the persistence of adolescent voice even after puberty.
