“…These lesions may course with vocal symptoms since the first years of life -as per reported by some parents in the questionnaire; and they have been diagnosed increasingly earlier in children, thanks to the development in videolaryngo-stroboscopy devices. Cysts are the most frequent lesions, and they may be classified as epidermoid or mucosal; being considered the main causes of hoarseness in children, after nodules and thickenings 24 . The joint analyses of the results from the present study indicated an agreement between the two methods utilized in the vocal analysis (acoustic and auditory-perceptual).…”

Chi ldren dysphonia studies have reported an incidence of 4.4 to 30.3%. Goals:To establish the prevalence of dysphonia in children, based on the opinion of the parents, acoustic and vocal-perceptual assessments, associated symptoms, risk factors and videolaryngoscopy findings. Materials and Methods:The parents from 2,000 children answered a questionnaire about the vocal quality of their children, and these children were submitted to perceptual vocal, acoustic and videolaryngoscopy assessments. Results:We had 1,007 boys and 993 girls; sporadic symptoms were reported by 206 parents and permanent symptoms were reported by 123. In the perceptual assessment, the G parameter (degree of dysphonia) had a score of 0 in 694 voices; 1 in 1,065 and 2 in 228. There was f0 reduction with age and the remaining acoustic parameters were high in children with a G score of 2. Nodules, thickening and inflammation were the most common in the videolaryngoscopy exams. Conclusions:Parental judgment indicated a prevalence of dysphonia in 6.15%, and perceptual analysis yielded a value of 11.4%. Vocal symptoms were associated with a phonatory overload. sinonasal disorders, vocal abuse and noise were considered relevant risk factors. The acoustic analysis kept a direct association with the perceptual-auditory. Laryngeal lesions were found in the videolaryngoscopy exams, stressing nodules, thickening and inflammation.

“…En nuestra serie, los quistes de cuerda vocal en los adultos fueron más frecuentes en mujeres (68,3% mujeres versus 31,7% hombres), mientras que en los pacientes pediátricos, esta proporción se invierte: 33,3% niñas y 66,6% niños, fenómeno que está descrito en la literatura 4 . Este mismo comportamiento se observa en los nódulos vocales, cuya etiología se ha asociado al fonotrauma, entre otros factores.…”

This study was carried out on 47 patients; 21 of these patients (45%) were diagnosed with vocal fold cysts (group 1) and 26 patients (55%) were diagnosed with vocal fold polyps (group 2). The results of auditory perceptual assessment, LVS evaluation, and acoustic analysis of the voice were compared in both groups. The correlation between the different parameters of LVS and the grade of dysphonia was tested. ResultsVocal fold polyps lead to more severe dysphonia than vocal fold cysts, proved by signifi cant differences between both groups in the grade of dysphonia and in acoustic analysis. LVS fi ndings differed signifi cantly between both groups. Irregularity of the edge of the affected vocal fold, phase closure characteristics, and phase symmetry were found to be the most useful parameters for the assessment of the severity of dysphonia in these voice disorders than the amplitude of vibration. ConclusionThe results of assessment of voice in vocal fold cysts and polyps are related to the nature and the pathology of the disorder. Irregular vocal fold edges in cases of vocal fold polyps and absent mucosal wave over the lesion in cases of vocal fold cysts enabled clear differentiation between them. Irregularity of the vocal fold edges and symmetry between vocal folds were stroboscopic signs correlated to the severity of dysphonia in cases of vocal fold polyps and cysts.
