Abstract

Patients with short stature have a high incidence of voice and laryngeal abnormalities. In sixteen patients with short stature of various etiologies, these abnormalities appeared to be unrelated to hearing loss or other otolaryngologic problems. However, in many patients they were associated with typical symptoms and signs of voice abuse. Physicians and speech-language pathologists caring for patients with short stature should be alert for voice problems, and should consider instituting early voice education, diagnosis and treatment.
