Voice Disorders in Patients with Neurological Diseases

Abstract

A review was made of voice disorders in patients with diseases of the central nervous system, including Parkinson's disease, pseudobulbar palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebellar ataxia, multiple system atrophy, multiple sclerosis and chorea. Voice symptoms and laryngeal findings were described together with the results of acoustic analyses in selected categories. It was concluded that voice change is one of the important clinical signs in cases of dysarthria.
