Abstract
Background and objective: Dysphonia is considered a relatively common disorder among pediatric population. Proper diagnosis for voice disordered children is essentially required for proper therapeutic plans.Subjects and Methods: A prospective study was designed to involve children presented to the voice clinic with either airway or voice problems. Children included in the study were typically examined using rigid 70° laryngoscope. Those who could not tolerate the rigid endoscopy were examined by flexible fiber-optic endoscopy.Results: Forty-nine children with variable voice and airway complaints were included in the study. Rigid laryngeal stroboscopic examination was successfully performed in 42 children (85.7%) of the total included pediatric population.Conclusion: Rigid laryngeal stroboscopic examination appears to be a feasible technique for laryngeal stroboscopic examination in children at or below the age of 6 years.
