“…As in previous researches, 40,42,43 in the present study the joint occurrence of several subtypes of MSAC was observed, as well as with injuries of other nature, in a single dysphonic patient. Therefore, it was decided to consider the number of changes instead of considering the number of subjects in the analyzes.…”

Introduction Minor structural alterations of the vocal fold cover are important causes of dysphonia. The variability in the type of alteration and the grade of vocal deviation affects the definition of the conduit and the results of treatment. Objective To characterize the occurrence, the selected treatments adopted and vocal quality before and after treatment in patients with minor structural alterations of the vocal folds cover. Methods This was a cross-sectional study based on the records of patients treated by an interdisciplinary team at the laryngology outpatient clinic of a public university hospital from 2010 to 2018. Data collection consisted of access to a database of information on otorhinolaryngological diagnostic hypotheses, intervention and perceptual-auditory vocal assessments before and after the treatment. Data from 102 subjects were analyzed. Association tests were applied between the perceptual-auditory vocal results and the different alterations found and between these and the adopted treatments. The results of the degrees of vocal deviation before and after treatment were also compared. Results The degree of roughness was associated with the sulcus vocalis, and in this alteration the highest occurrence was mild degree of roughness. There was an improvement in the breathiness and general grade of vocal deviation after treatment. Conclusion Cysts were the most frequent structural alteration in the population studied. There was an association between the degree of general deviation and that of roughness in sulcus vocalis cases. The breathiness and the general grade of vocal deviation improved after treatment regardless of the type of treatment and alteration.

“…Estas corresponden a una banda de mucosa paralela al borde libre de la cuerda vocal, que está unido por anterior y posterior como un ojal. Se compone de un eje central de tejido conectivo denso vascularizado, cubierto por epitelio escamoso no queratinizado, con membrana basal engrosada [4][5][6] . De acuerdo con la mayoría de los autores, el PM corresponde a una lesión congénita 1,4 , sin embargo, también se ha postulado que se podría desarrollar como complicación de microcirugía laríngea 6,7 .…”

Purpose of review Sulcus vocalis is a benign condition of the vocal folds that, according to its severity, can affect the quality of the voice of those who have it. Voice symptoms can range from mild to severe, affecting the quality of life of patients with this condition. Although different surgical and no surgical options have been described, no gold standard treatment has been described. Recent findings New evidence supports congenital, inflammatory, and acquired theories for sulcus vocalis. Also, recent literature demonstrated the role of the epithelium in the pathogenesis, which makes the absence of superficial lamina propria no longer the only accepted hypothesis. Technological developments improved the in-office diagnostics capabilities for this condition, but vocal fold palpation remains the gold standard. Different benign laryngeal conditions are associated with sulcus vocalis and knowing when to treat those is very important. Different treatment options are available for sulcus vocalis, however, results are diverse and no strong recommendations for one over the other can be made. Summary Progress continues to be made in our understanding of sulcus vocalis from diagnosis to treatment. Novel and promising therapeutic strategies have been recently developed for this condition; however, more data and investigations are needed to improve their accuracy and reproducibility.
