Abstract :

 Definition of ‘voice’ is the acoustic outputs from the vocal tract that are characterized by their dependence on vocal fold viatory inputs. Benign laryngeal lesions are significant because 29.9%of general population suffer at least one voice disorder in their lifetime. We present a series of 20 cases illustrating the variable presentation of benign lesions of larynx. Study conducted in cases admitted in the Department of ENT and Govt General Hospital Kurnool from June 2015 To December 2015 and cases referred from Paediatric and Medical ward, with hoarseness of voice and respiratory distress. All the Cases were thoroughly investigated With CBP, Screening Tests, X–ray Chest and CT SCAN of Larynx as needed. Clinical study in our cases shows Benign Non–neoplastic Lesions of Larynx are more common than Juvenile Papilloma, Solitary Nodule and with more voice problems than True Neoplastic Lesions. In the management of benign lesions, Vocal Nodules and Polyps were considered for surgery only if initial conservative methods fail. Avoidance of Voice Abuse and Proper Speech Training play a major role in the prevention of these lesions. In many of our cases Tracheostomy was avoided by careful Endo Tracheal intubation during surgical excision of lesion.
