This area is
dedicated to providing information on voice conditions and disorders.
Each condition is described in detail to facilitate your ability to
understand the condition and converse with your doctor. Key information
presented on each condition (or group of conditions, such as vocal fold
lesions) includes:
Overview information
Causes and symptoms
Specific diagnostic and treatment methods
Continuing advances and challenges
Each
of the conditions is led by a Highlights section, which summarizes the
most important information for the condition. Most of the conditions
are complemented by related links to access Patient Narratives,
Glossary, and more details on specific Tests and Procedures.
To
help get some bearing of a voice disorder, we present typical images of
some voice disorders. Images of the vocal folds are presented to
simulate the view a patient might see when viewing office laryngoscopy
pictures or videos with the voice specialist.
