Videographic documentation of an open cyst converting into a sulcus vocalis

G J Watson et al. J Voice. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

Study design: Case study.

Discussion: The origin of sulcus vocalis is debatable, it may arise from a congenital or acquired cyst that ruptures leaving a sulcus attached to the deep layer of the lamina propria. This has been hypothesized but never shown before.

Conclusion: In this article, we present the first videographic documentation of an intracordal cyst that over time may have become a sulcus vocalis.
