Abstract
Some dysphonias, functional or organic, are extremely intractable; just to cite a few examples, they include spastic dysphonia, vocal cord atrophy, and sulcus vocalis. The one most difficult to treat appears to be, from personal experience, scarred vocal cords after laryngeal trauma. Once the vocal cord mucosa becomes scarred, there is no means now available to restore normal mobility and pliability of the mucosa, which are essential to the vibration of the vocal cords. Experienced laryngologists are well aware of the fact that a major surgical intervention in the vocal cord involves some risk of further deterioration of the voice.
