Laryngeal stroboscopy is a important clinical tool in the diagnosis and evaluation of patients with voice disorders. Stroboscopic parameters evaluated during examination include symmetry, periodicity, glottic losure, amplitude, mucosal wave, and amplitude. Stroboscopy can provide useful information on glottal closure patterns in patient with/without vocal fold pathology and this paper describes the stroboscopic findings of the laryngeal pathologic lesions.

Background and Objectives : A burn injury to the glottis differs from a burn injury to the trachea, bronchi, and lung parenchyma, in that thermal injury does not occur to any significant degree below the level of the larynx, due to the effective cooling of air by the upper airway and to reflex closure of the vocal cords from a blast of hot air. Therefore, the laryngeal inhalation injury give rise to airway problem and voice change. The objectives of this study is to assess management of laryngeal inhalation injury and voice change after management. Materials and Methods : Voice choses and laryngeal injuries of eight laryngeal inhalation patients were analyzed through questionnaire, voice dynamic laboratory, and laryngeal stroboscopy. Operative management was performed to five patients for airway patiency and vocal cord movement on laryngeal pathology ind voice therapy was performed to all patients. One-year after, voice changes and laryngeal injuries were reanalyzed with same methods. Results : Vocal breathiness, decreased voice intensity, reduced voice range, and easy fatigability were major complaints of laryngeal inhalation patients. Glottic stenosis were developed to five of eight patients, and vocal cord atrophy, bowing were developed to others. Vocal cord mucosal waves were significantly decreased in all patients. Jitter(%), Shimmer(dB) were increased and Maximal phonation time(MPT) was decreased. One-year after, subjective voice changes and objective voice parameters were improved. And vocal cord mucosal waves were recovered in all patients. Conclusions : Subjective voice quality and objective voice parameters were improved after operative management for laryngeal pathology and voice therapy. And we observed recovery of vocal fold mucosal waves by laryngeal stroboscopy. We think that early preventable tracheotomy is necessary to reduce the laryngeal contact injury in laryngeal inhalation patients.

Objective and Background: Laryngeal stroboscope is an useful equipment in evaluation of vocal cord vibration and in early detection of mucosal lesion including invasive cancer of the vocal cord. Recently Lee et al. (2006) developed portable stroboscope using voice as synchronization signal. It has been frequently impaired ability to synchronize the flashes even in normal female. Authors tried to investigate various methods including vibration pick-up, microphone, laryngeal microphone, and contact microphone for development of simple and accurate method like electroglottograph signal. The purpose of this study was to estimate wheher the vibration pick-up is available and is consistent with the signal of EGG. Subjects and Methods: Authors compared the signals between EGG and noncontact method such as voice, contact methods including vibration pick-up, laryngeal microphone, and contact microphone in normal twenty adults (male 10 and female 10). The number of peak in one cycle was compared with the number of the peak in EGG, and the percent of phase difference in the peak was compared with EGG Also, authors tried to investigate which site of vibration pick-up was most effective for synchronization of stobo flashes. Three site including anterior neck below the cricoid cartilage, thyroid ala, and suprahyoid region were analysed. Results: Among various methods for synchronization of strobo flashes, vibration pick-up was most effective method in peak detection. And anterior neck below cricoid cartilage was the most available site of the vibration pick-up. Conclusion: Authors suggest that vibration pick-up is most available and effective method for synchronization of strobo flashes.

False vocal fold hypertrophy caused by diverse pathologic lesion, such as laryngeal amyloidosis, laryngeal lipidosis, laryngocele, saccular cyst and sulcus vocalis. False vocal fold hypertrophy, however, is also caused laryngeal structure deformity, irrespective of pathologic lesions. In this article, we report some cases of false vocal fold hypertrophy caused by inward bowing of thyroid cartilage. At the clinic of the department of otorhinolaryngology in Gangnam Severance Hospital, with 3 male complained of hoarseness as subjects, and comfirmed of false vocal fold hypertrophy using the stroboscopy and larynx CT we checked vocal fold and laryngeal structure. Three patients with apparent hypertrophy of false vocal fold were investigated with computerized tomography (CT). In all patients, marked concavity of thyroid cartilage was revealed in CT scan at the level of the false vocal fold, and this deformity of the thyroid cartilage seemed to cause a protrusion of false vocal fold which taken as hypertrophy in stroboscopy. Careful palpation of the larynx and a CT scan taken at the level of the false vocal fold should be useful in determining whether hypertrophy of the false vocal fold is pathologic. For the next articles, It is necessary to discuss for the cause, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of inward bowing of thyroid cartilage.

Background and Objectives : Although many studies have examined the effect of drinking on voice change, its cause and degree remain unclear. Since voice change occurs more frequently the day following drinking, rather than immediately afterwards, we examined whether the voice change was correlated with reflux laryngitis due to gastroesophageal motor disturbances. Subjects and Methods : For this study, 10 patients were selected who had neither voice change nor symptoms of reflux laryngitis at baseline (male : female=5 : 5, mean age=28 years old) They were subjected to psychoacoustic, acoustic, and aerodynamic tests and video stroboscopy at 4:00 P.M. the day before drinking (test 1), at 8:00 A.M. (test 2) and 4:00 P.M. (test 3) on the following day. On the day of drinking, the subjects had to drink more than their usual amount of Soju(Korean liquor) and were not allowed to talk much. The stroboscopy findings were quantified using the PC Belafsky score. Results : The laryngeal response to gastric reflux after drinking was compared between tests 1 and 2. In both tests, laryngeal edema and injection were observed on video stroboscopy. The psychoacoustic test detected more severe hoarseness in test 2 than in test 1. In addition, the acoustic test detected a mild increase in both jitter and shimmer. However, the differences between tests 2 and 3, which were performed when there was reduced or no gastric reflux, were not significant. Conclusions : Drinking may cause gastric reflux, which produces reversible voice change by irritating the vocal cords and larynx. Therefore, reflux laryngitis should be suspected in a patient whose voice changes markedly after drinking.

Laryngostroboscopy is one of the most practical techniques for clinical examination of the larynx. The videostroboscopy provides valuable information concerning the nature of vocal folds' vibration, an immediate image of the presence or absence of pathology, and a permanent record. Additionally, when used by trained observers in conjunction with other instrumentation, it can provide both qualitative and quantitative data on vocal function of both the normal and disordered larynx. The authors examined the 388 patients with voice disorders by videostroboscope. This paper describes the clinical procedure of laryngostroboscopy based on some introductory remarks on laryngeal anatomy and function. And the findings of parameters observed by the stroboscopy is noted for the laryngeal disorders.

Background and Objectives : In order to evaluate the result of the $CO_2$ LASER laryngomicrosurgery for the treatment of glottic stenosis after inhalation injury. Patients and Methods : We retrospectively evaluated 7 patients with inhalation injury on larynx who received their surgical treatment at the Severance hospital on Jun. 2003. The average follow-up duration was 64.9 days and they were 3men and 4women. The average patient age was 30.1 years, We evaluated the preoperative state with neck CT and stroboscopy. The operation was $CO_2$ LASER laryngomicrosurgery and Mitomycin-C application. The postoperative state was evaluated with stroboscopy at POD#6 and POD#2months. Results : 6 patients had the intubation as the first care on accident. All 7 patients showed the glottic web and after operation, the vocal cord seemed to be almost normal. The glottic area was widened as 3 times as the preoperative state at POD#6. Conclusion : We could lessen the symptoms like dyspnea and hoarseness with laryngomicrosurgery and Mitomycin-C application for patients complaining some laryngeal problems because of the inhalation injury.

Background and Objectives Vocal fold (VF) scar is known to be the most common cause of dysphonia after laryngeal microsurgery (LMS). Steroids reduce postoperative scar formation by inhibiting inflammation and collagen deposition. However, the clinical evidence of whether steroids are helpful in reducing VF scar formation after LMS is still lacking. The purpose of this study is to determine whether intralesional VF steroid injection after LMS helps to reduce postoperative scar formation and voice quality. Materials and Method This study was conducted on 80 patients who underwent LMS for VF polyp, Reinke's edema, and leukoplakia. Among them, 40 patients who underwent VF steroid injection after LMS were set as the injection group, and patients who had similar sex, age, and lesion size and who underwent LMS alone were set as the control group. In each group, stroboscopy, multi-dimensional voice program, Aerophone II, and voice handicap index (VHI) were performed before and 1 month after surgery, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of sex, age, symptom duration, occupation and smoking status between each group. Both groups consisted of VF polyp (n=21), Reinke's edema (n=11), and leukoplakia (n=9). On stroboscopy, the lesion disappeared after surgery, and the amplitude and mucosal wave were symmetrical on both sides of the VFs in all patients. Acoustic parameters and VHI significantly improved after surgery in all patients. However, there was no significant difference between the injection and control group in most of the results. Conclusion There was no significant difference in the results of stroboscopy, acoustic, aerodynamic, and subjective evaluation before and after surgery in the injection group and the control group.
