Pol yps are common injuries of the vocal folds. Voice trauma is the main factor related with the onset of this injury. The association between vocal fold polyps and cover minimum structural alterations (sulcus, epidermoid cyst, mucosal bridge, laryngeal web and varicosity) has been little studied in literature; therefore, the purpose of the present study was to quantify and to analyze this association. Study design: Clinical retrospective. Material and Methods: We carried out a retrospective study with 68 patients, mean age 39.5 years, surgically submitted to exeresis of vocal fold polyps in the period between January 1999 and May 2003. We analyzed the presence of vocal fold polyps and cover minimum structural alterations. Results: The presence of cover minimum structural alterations associated with the polyp occurred in 16 (23.5%) patients. In 8 (50%) patients, the finding was sulcus vocalis. In 4 (25%) patients, the finding was epidermoid cyst, in 2 (12.5%) patients, mucosal bridge, in 1 (6.25%), varicosity and in 1 (6.25%) patient, laryngeal web. Cover minimum structural alterations were contralateral to the vocal fold polyp in 11 patients. Of the sulcus, 6 (75%) were contralateral and among the cysts, 3 (75%) were contralateral to the polyp. Conclusion: The association between vocal fold polyps and cover minimum structural alterations is relatively frequent and it was 23.5% in our study. Careful intraoperative exploration of vocal folds in search for these alterations is essential.Key words: vocal fold polyp, vocal fold cover minor structural alteration, phonotrauma. «« ««Rev Bras Otorrinolaringol.

“…Higher percentages are found in teachers and singers with voice problems (Lacina [8]; Urrutikoetxea et al [9]). In children, they are more common in boys than in girls, while in adults they are very much more commonly found in women particularly under the age of 30 (Nagata et al [10]; Wendler et al [11]). …”

“…Although focal interruption in the mucosal wave at the site of the sulcus can be noted but it can go unnoticed as the sulcus usually involves the vocal fold edges. Nagata et al [10] and Sataloff et al [14] observed slightly decreased amplitude of the mucosal wave in cases of vocal nodule, but the wave is generally symmetric. Similarly, decreased or absent mucosal wave can be observed on the side of the cyst because of displacement of lamina propria.…”

“…Similarly, decreased or absent mucosal wave can be observed on the side of the cyst because of displacement of lamina propria. Vocal folds with small polyps generally have intact mucosal wave while larger polyps can show prominent decreased mucosal wave amplitude [10,14]. Shohet et al [15] compared stroboscopic findings between cysts and polyps.…”

Successful treatment of bilateral vocal fold lesions depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis. The application of stroboscopy to the study of vocal fold vibration has led to dramatic advances in the understanding of vocal fold physiology. Laryngeal stroboscopy is the state of the art diagnostic tool and this technique provides valuable information about the nature of the vibration and a visual image that can be used both for immediate analysis and as a permanent record for comparison of repeated examination at a later date. In this study we are presenting demographic analysis and videostroboscopic assessment in 112 cases of different vocal pathologies. Stroboscopic parameters like glottic closure, amplitude, vocal fold edge, symmetry, periodicity and mucosal wave pattern were studied and statistically significant relationship with different vocal pathologies were obtained.
