This course presents an in depth tutorial in the role of laryngeal videostrobscopy in the comprehensive evaluation of voice disorders. Examination begins with a discussion of the differences between diagnostic flexible laryngoscopy and rigid or flexible endoscopy with videostroboscopy. Participants will be provided with the practicing clinician demonstration of the assessment of the functional parameters of the vocal fold mucosa and the glottis demonstrated in the laryngeal videostroboscopic examination. Demonstrations of both flexible and rigid examinations are included.

Chapters & learning objectives

Laryngeal Imaging: What, Why, and When

1. Laryngeal Imaging: What, Why, and When

This chapter lays the foundation for the use of laryngeal imaging. The science behind laryngeal videostroboscopy, how it differs from flexible diagnostic laryngoscopy, and when it is important to use videostroboscopy will be discussed.

Laryngeal Videostroboscopy: Interpreting the Examination

2. Laryngeal Videostroboscopy: Interpreting the Examination

This chapter will introduce the participant to the functional information gleaned from the laryngeal videostroboscopy examination that provides information on the health and pliability of the vocal fold mucosa, the size and shape of the glottis and the vertical phase of vocal fold approximation.

Demonstrations

3. Demonstrations

This chapter will demonstrate one comprehensive rigid and one comprehensive flexible laryngeal videostroboscopic examination.
