Spasmodic Dysphonia

Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD)
Presentation by:Robin Bohot

Voice Disorders
Definition

* a central nervous system voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx
* tight, strained or strangled voice quality

Causes of SD
* Damage to the Basal Ganglia
* Lack of any structural abnormality in the larynx
* Damage to the RLN?

Types of SD
* Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia
* Mixed Spasmodic Dysphonia
* Variants-

Co-Occurring Disorders
* Blepharospasm (excessive eye blinking and involuntary forced eye closure)
* Tardive dyskinesia (involuntary and repetitious movement of muscles of the face, body, arms and legs)
* Oromandibular dystonia (involuntary movements of the jaw muscles, lips and tongue)
* Torticollis (involuntary movements of the neck muscles)
* Tremor (rhythmic, quivering muscle movements)

Management of Pediatric Neck masses

Evaluation and Management of Pediatric Neck masses
Presentation by:Steven T. Wright, M.D.
Ronald Deskin, M.D.

Pediatric Neck Masses
* Congenital masses
* Benign lesions
* Vascular and lymphatic malformations
* Infectious and inflammatory conditions
* Malignant lesions

Embryology and Anatomy
* Branchial System- 6 pairs of pharyngeal arches separated by endodermally lined pouches and ectodermally lined clefts.
* Each arch consists of a nerve, artery, and cartilaginous structures.
* The remaining neck musculature gains contributions from cervical somites.

Branchial system
* First Branchial arch
* Second Branchial Arch
* Third Branchial Arch

Branchial system
* Third Branchial Pouch
* Fourth and Sixth Branchial arches fuse to form the laryngeal cartilages.
* Fourth Arch
* Fourth Pouch- superior parathyroid glands and parafollicular thyroid cells
* Sixth Branchial Arch
* Epipericardial ridge
* Cervical Sinus of His

Thyroid Gland
First Branchial Cleft Cysts
* Type I
* Type II
Second Branchial Cleft Cysts
Fourth Branchial Cleft Cysts
