    Summary

    Functional dysphonia involves voice problems without physical damage. Evaluation includes history, vocal assessment, and ENT exam to diagnose conditions like vocal nodules or laryngitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Speech and Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Functional dysphonia is a voice disorder lacking organic lesions.
    • It is categorized into functional dysphonia (no lesions) and functional laryngopathies (vocal cord lesions from misuse).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical evaluation process for patients with dysphonia.
    • To differentiate between functional dysphonia and functional laryngopathies based on clinical findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation involves three key steps: patient history, vocal assessment, and ENT examination.
    • History taking aids diagnosis and can be therapeutic.
    • Vocal evaluation focuses on voice production, while ENT examination scrutinizes the larynx.

    Main Results:

    • In functional dysphonia, the larynx typically appears normal, but signs like inflammation or abnormal movements may be present.
    • Functional laryngopathies encompass conditions such as vocal nodules, laryngitis, polyps, and contact ulcers.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic clinical evaluation is crucial for diagnosing functional dysphonia and related conditions.
    • Understanding the distinction between functional dysphonia and functional laryngopathies guides appropriate management.
