HNO
|November 1, 1978
Abstract:
Psychogenic aphonia is rare in childhood and adolescence and its management is therefore problematic. Two examples, one of a hypofunctional aphonia in a 14 year old with a stutter and another of psychogenic aphonia confirm the necessity after psychiatric assessment and treatment of speech therapy in order to restore the voice to normal. The place of the laryngologist and speech therapist is discussed.
