This ppt is know about local abuse disorder and the think that we ignore about local abuse in day to day life Local abuse" can refer to different situations depending on the context. It might involve physical, verbal, or emotional abuse that occurs in a specific community or geographic area. This could be related to:
Domestic violence: Abuse within households or relationships.
Workplace abuse: Harassment or unfair treatment in a local work environment.
Community-level abuse: Discriminatory practices, mistreatment, or exploitation happening within a community.

Disorders of voice abuseDisorders of voice abuse

Vocal nodulesVocal nodules
Syn: Singer’s nodules, teacher’s nodules,
screamer’s nodules, juggler’s nodules,
etc.
Defined as disorder of voice abuse
commonly seen in professional voice
users, characterized by hoarseness, vocal
fatigue and presence of pin head sized
raised lesions on both the vocal cords at
the junction of its anterior I/3 and
posterior 2/3.
Hyperkinetic voice
Maximum vibration at the junction of
anterior 1/3 and posterior 2/3
Trauma leading to odema and submucosal
microhaemorrhage
Epithelial hyperplasia and subepithelial
hyalinization and fibrosis
Bilateral vocal nodules in the free edge of
the cords
SymptomsSymptoms
Professional voice users
Hoarseness
Improves initially with voice rest
Voice fatigue (Phonesthenia)
Strained speech- pain in the neck/
throat
SignsSigns
Indirect laryngoscopy
Pin-head sized pearly white
projections on the free edge of the
vocal cords at the junction of
anterior 1/3 and posterior 2/3
Vocal cord movements are normal
Congestion of the cords +/-
InvestigationsInvestigations
Diagnosis usually made clinically
If ILS is difficult
–Flexible laryngoscopy
–Rigid angled laryngeal endoscopy (70°/
90°)
–Stroboscopy
Treatment- ConservativeTreatment- Conservative
Voice rest- ‘Absolute’
Treatment of local sepsis, cough,
reflux, etc.
Speech therapy
–Vocal hygiene
–Relaxing exercises
Early lesions may disappear
Surgical treatmentSurgical treatment
MICROLARYNGOSCOPY (MLS) AND
PRECISE EXCISION under GA
Advantage of microscope
–Hands free
–Illumination
–Magnification
Speech therapy and vocal hygiene should
be continued following excision- prevents
recurrence
Vocal polypVocal polyp
Defined as a disorder of voice abuse
commonly seen in professional voice
users, characterized by hoarseness
and presence of a sessile or
pedunculated mass usually arising
from one of the vocal cords
SitesSites
Usually unilateral
Common site: Junction of anterior
1/3 and posterior 2/3
Can be seen in other areas like
anterior commisure
Free edge or under surface
SymptomsSymptoms
Common in females and between 30-
50 years
Professional voice users
Hoarseness
Phonesthenia
Diplophonia (double voice)
Very rarely, a large polyp may give
rise to choking spells/ stridor
SignsSigns
Indirect laryngoscopy
Sessile/ pedunculated mass
Smooth reddish/ whitish mass
Unilateral
Junction of anterior 1/3 and posterior 2/3
Polyp may move up and down during
respiration or may pop up during
phonation
Vocal cord movements- normal
InvestigationsInvestigations
Diagnosis usually made clinically
Flexible laryngoscopy
Rigid angled laryngeal endoscopy
Stroboscopy
DDDD
Laryngeal papilloma
Laryngeal carcinoma
TreatmentTreatment
Small/ sessile polyp- try
Voice rest
Speech therapy
Steroid inhalers
Large polyp
MICROLARYNGOSCOPY AND PRECISE
EXCISION under GA
Continue speech therapy and observe
vocal hygiene
Reinke’s odemaReinke’s odema
Syn:
–Bilateral diffuse polyposis
–Polypoid degeneration of vocal cords
Defined as benign condition of the vocal
cords, commonly seen in professional
voice users and is characterized by
diffuse odema of the entire length of both
vocal cords in the Reinke’s space
Reinke’s space: Subepithelial space in the
vocal cords
EtiopathologyEtiopathology
Same as chronic laryngitis
Clinical featuresClinical features
Symptoms
–Same as chronic laryngitis
Signs
–Diffuse odema of both vocal cords
–‘Spindle’ shaped swelling on the cords
–Vocal cords are mobile
TreatmentTreatment
Conservative
–Voice rest
–Speech therapy
–Treat etiological factors, if any
–Steroid inhalers
Surgical
–Microlaryngoscopy
–Vocal cord stripping
–One cord at a time to prevent adhesions
–Avoid injury to vocal ligament
Contact ulcer/ granulomaContact ulcer/ granuloma
Defined as disorder of voice abuse
characterized by hoarseness and
pain in the throat on speaking and
presence of of an ulcer on the vocal
process of one arytenoid and
granuloma on the vocal process of
other arytenoid
EtiologyEtiology
Hyperkinetic voice
Same as chronic laryngitis
PathologyPathology
Chronic trauma at the vocal process
of arytenoids—ulceration on one
side and granuloma on the other
SymptomsSymptoms
Hoarseness
Pain on speaking- throat/ neck
Phonesthenia
Sticky/ FB sensation in the throat
SignsSigns
Indirect laryngoscopy
Characteristic granuloma on the
vocal process of one arytenoid and
ulcer on the other
Granuloma fits into the ulcer on
phonation
DD: Malignancy of larynx
TreatmentTreatment
Microlaryngoscopy and excision
biopsy of the granuloma
Voice rest
Vocal hygiene
Speech therapy
Treat etiological factors, if any
PAPILLOMA OF THE PAPILLOMA OF THE
LARYNXLARYNX
Types
Juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis
(Children)
Solitary laryngeal papilloma (Adults)
Juvenile laryngeal papillomatosisJuvenile laryngeal papillomatosis
Syn: Recurrent respiratory
papillomatosis
Benign neoplasm of the larynx,
commonly seen in children and is
characterized by presence of
multiple warty lesions on the larynx
which may give rise to fatal
respiratory obstruction
IncidenceIncidence
Most common benign tumor of the
larynx in childhood
Approximately 1500 new cases
reported annually
EtiologyEtiology
Human papilloma virus 6 and 11- tissue specific-
targets stratified squamous epithelium of the
oropharynx, larynx, and anogenital region but not
epidermis
? Genetic predisposition
80-90% of cases present before 3 years of age
May get infected during birth if mother has genital
condylomata (Genital warts)- 50% of cases have
mothers with this!
But delivery by caesarian section does not prevent
it- ? Transplacental spread/ postnatal infection
PathologyPathology
Gross: Multiple pinkish white warty
lesions on the supraglottis and vocal
cords- may obstruct the airwary
Can occur anywhere in the respiratory
tract- but common glottis and
supraglottis
Microscopy: Finger like projections of
epithelial tumor cells with central
fibrovascular core
SymptomsSymptoms
Hoarseness
–‘Any child with hoarseness of more than
1 month duration should be diagnosed
as JLP until otherwise proved’
‘Asthma-like’ features
Stridor
SignsSigns
Hoarse voice/ harsh weak cry
ILS: Multiple pinkish warty lesions,
airway may be obscured
Inspiratory/ biphasic stridor +/-
InvestigationsInvestigations
X-ray lateral/ AP view of the neck
Chest X-ray
Flexible/ rigid laryngoscopy
Microlaryngoscopy and excision-
Biopsy
Bronchoscopy to r/o
tracheobronchial lesions
TreatmentTreatment
Various methods of treatment described
Microlaryngoscopy and excision with
microcautery- common method of treatment
Avoid trauma to adjacent areas- seeding
into raw areas can result in recurrence?
Recurrence rates very high
May need repeated such procedures to clear
the airway
Spontaneous regression may occur after
puberty
Other methods of treatment:Other methods of treatment:
Inconsistent success reportedInconsistent success reported
Cryosurgery
Ultrasonic destruction
Laser vaporization
MLS and application of podophyllum
Interferon therapy
Autogenous vaccines
Long term antibiotics have been tried
Antiviral treatment
If stridor +If stridor +
Tracheostomy if intubation is not
possible
Tracheostomy should be avoided
because recurrence in the
tracheastoma site can occur- more
difficult to treat
PrognosisPrognosis
High recurrence rates
Death due to respiratory obstruction
If survives till puberty- prognosis is
good
NOT PREMALIGNANT
SOLITARY PAPILLOMASOLITARY PAPILLOMA
Occurs in adults
Clinical presentation is similar to vocal
polyp- commonly occurs on membranous
vocal cord
Etiology: Human papilloma virus
Treatment: Microlaryngoscopy and
excision
PREMALIGNANT CONDITION
Prognosis is good if completely excised-
recurrence rates very low compared to
Juvenile papillomatosis
