Abstract

The syndromology of dysfunction of the vocal cords varies widely from the absence of symptoms to mild shortness of breath to acute respiratory disfunction, which can mimic an asthma attack. The treatment of vocal dysfunction and bronchial asthma is different. An early fold diagnosis of vocal dysfunction can prevent improper treatment and, therefore, minimize the rising costs of health care.
