Background:

Vocal cord sulcus is a congenital furrow on the vocal cord's medial edge.
It often leads to a hoarse, breathy voice from incomplete vocal cord closure.
This condition is frequently misdiagnosed as functional voice disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the prevalence and diagnostic challenges of vocal cord sulcus.
To emphasize the importance of specific examination for identifying this condition.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 15 patients with vocal cord sulcus among 1,400 voice disorder patients.
Review of diagnostic methods including indirect laryngoscopy and microlaryngoscopy.

Main Results:

Vocal cord sulcus was identified in 15 patients within a cohort of 1,400 voice disorder cases.

The condition is often overlooked and requires targeted investigation.

Diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in older patients with secondary vocal changes.

Conclusions:

Vocal cord sulcus is an underdiagnosed congenital condition causing voice impairment.
Early and specific diagnostic efforts, including microlaryngoscopy, are crucial for accurate identification.
Increased awareness can improve diagnosis and management of this vocal cord anomaly.
