Abstract
Because of the incomplete closure of the glottis which they cause, vocal cord polyps are ordinarily associated with a complaint of hoarseness. However, when the polyps are small, patients often complain of abnormal sensations of the throat or coughing, rather than hoarseness as a result of poor closure. This report describes two patients, who complained of functional dysphonia althouth their polyps were too small to cause hoarseness. In both, good results were achieved with laryngomicrosurgery and postoperative voice therapy.
