Spasmodic Dysphonia

2020
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a rare focal laryngeal dystonia. It is characterized by task-specific voice dysfluency resulting from selective intrinsic laryngeal musculature hyperfunction. Symptoms may be attenuated by a sensory trick. Although SD can be seen at times in generalized dystonia syndromes, it is typically a sporadic phenomenon.

Dysphonia

2015
Dysfunction of the vocal cords (dysphonia) is not as common a manifestation of neuromuscular disorders as dysarthria. It is typically seen in central diseases such as Parkinson disease and spasmodic dysphonia. Certain muscle and nerve disorders affect the vocal cords, but in these cases other features of these diseases make the diagnosis easy ...

Functional dysphonia

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2003
Functional dysphonia-a voice disturbance in the absence of structural or neurologic laryngeal pathology-is an enigmatic and controversial voice disorder that is frequently encountered in multidisciplinary voice clinics. Poorly regulated activity of the intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal muscles is cited as the proximal cause of functional dysphonia, but
