    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2002 Mar; 12(69):201-3. PubMed ID: 12053588.
    Abstract:
    The voice analysis of 80 patients (near age 64) is presented in the study. Laryngeal pathology observed in the patients was classified as edema or vocal fold atrophy. The voice was examined subjectively and objectively (spectrographic examination). Voice quality pathology, voice monotony, and ill intelligibility were observed. The histological structure of vocal fold mucous membrane (squamous epithelium) was presented. Morphological changes of vocal folds are the underlying cause of voice pathology.
