Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Aphonia in young patients presents a unique clinical challenge.
  • Understanding the characteristics and recovery patterns is crucial for effective management.

  • To investigate common features of aphonia presentation in young individuals.
  • To analyze various speech therapy management approaches.
  • To identify patterns of voice recovery following treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of case histories for 14 young patients diagnosed with aphonia.
  • Administration of a questionnaire to five involved speech therapists.
  • Analysis of patient data including initial ENT examination and speech therapy outcomes.

Main Results:

  • All 14 patients experienced a complete return of their voice to its premorbid state.
  • Speech therapy was the primary intervention leading to recovery.
  • Common characteristics of presentation and management strategies were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Speech therapy is a highly effective treatment for pediatric aphonia.
  • Early ENT examination followed by targeted speech therapy yields positive outcomes.
  • Further research into specific therapeutic techniques may optimize voice restoration.
