Functional dysphonia in children is rare, with few reported cases. This study details two common types: Whispering Syndrome in girls and Hysterical High Pitched Voice in boys.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Background:

  • Functional dysphonia in pediatric populations is infrequently documented in scientific literature.
  • Existing research primarily resides in speech, hearing, and communication journals, with limited Otorhinolaryngology publications.
  • Psychiatric literature rarely addresses pediatric voice and speech disorders.

Observation:

  • Two prevalent forms of functional dysphonia in children and adolescents are identified.
  • Whispering Syndrome, characterized by habitual whispering, predominantly affects girls.
  • Hysterical High Pitched Voice, involving a consistently high vocal pitch, is more common in boys.

Findings:

  • The study provides a comprehensive overview of these two distinct functional dysphonia types.

  • Case examples illustrating each condition are presented for detailed analysis.
  • The paper highlights the specific demographic patterns observed in each dysphonia variety.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness and recognition of functional dysphonia in pediatric patients are crucial.
    • Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and effective treatments.
    • Collaboration between speech-language pathologists, otolaryngologists, and child psychiatrists can improve patient outcomes.
