Abstract

Hoarseness Laryngitis Prolonged hoarseness Prolonged laryngitis Prolonged ulcerative laryngitis Upper respiratory infection Vocal fold ulceration
Acute and prolonged laryngitis commonly are diagnosed and treated by primary care physicians. These ailments come to the attention of the otolaryngologist when symptoms are prolonged despite treatment. Since the beginning of 1991, the senior authors (RTS, JRS) have recognized a clinical syndrome defined by prolonged hoarseness, prolonged laryngeal inflammation, and vocal fold ulceration. Patients are frequently young, nonsmokers, and nondrinkers who have had an upper respiratory infection prior to, or associated with, the onset of laryngeal symptomatology. Patients may be affected for up to 1 year despite aggressive medical therapy. This review of 14 patients highlights the features of this previously undescribed entity.
