We assessed the surgical effects of Isshiki's thyroplasty on 10 functional voice disorder patients including seven with mutational voice disorder, two with spasmodic dysphonia and one with asthenic voice disorder. Our concept is to select and combine proper surgical procedures according to the laryngeal findings of each case. We conveyed thyroplasty type I and III for six patients, and type II and III for one with mutational voice disorder. For spasmodic dysphonia, thyroplasty type II and III was performed in one case with atrophy of the vocal folds accompanied by contraction of false vocal folds during phonation, while type II thyroplasty was selected for the other case without vocal fold atrophy and supraglottic contraction. One asthenic voice disorder was treated with thyroplasty type II and III. We showed the efficiency of framework surgery for functional voice disorders and discussed how to select the type of thyroplasty for each case.

The literature on laryngeal function in the speech of aged persons is reviewed. Two major techniques have been used for the study of utterances in aged persons; one uses isolated voice sounds and the other conventional running speech for analysis.The former technique reveals aging-related changes in the vocal cords and in respiratory function. The voice of aged persons is characterized by hoarseness. That of males is also characterized by an increase in fundamental frequency, and that of females is characterized by a decrease. These changes are caused by an atrophy of the vocal folds in aged males and by an edematous change in aged females. However, this is only on among various aspects characteristic of the speech in aged persons.Other changes includes changes in the articulatory system and its movements. Aging affects the mobility of the tongue, pharyngeal wall and soft palate. In the production of a plosive, for example, aging leads to low intrapharyngeal pressure and poor glottal opening. As a result, the speech of aged person tends to be less clear.A combined study of isolated voice sounds and running speech is indispensable for the study of laryngeal function in aged persons.

Intracapsular enucleation is thought to be a suitable method for preserving post-operative function of the original nerve following treatment for cervical neurilemmomas. In previous studies, however, post-operative palsy occurred in most cases and there have been seen several cases in which nerve funtions did not recover. In the present study, we performed a modified method of Intracapsular enucleation for two cervical neurilemmomas, the first case involved the facial nerve, the second the hypoglossal nerve. In these cases, post-operative palsy has not been observed since immediately after surgery. Important points in this procedure include (1) making the incision line at a point on the capsule where few nerve fibers exist, (2)ablating the capsule from the tumor as gently as possible, (3) monitoring nerve function using a nerve stimulator throughout the procedure.

Congenital piriform sinus fistula, which is usually unilateral, is recognized as a cause of acute suppurative thyroiditis. We have encountered a rare case of bilateral piriform sinus fistulae. The patient, a 53-year-old female, was referred to our hospital because of right neck swelling, which improved after conservative treat. Three months later, an abscess of the left thyroid lobe was presented and was improved after incision and drainage. The diagnosis of bilateral piriform sinus fistulae was made by hypopharyngeal enhancement radiography. Total fistulectomies were performed. There was no recurrence observed six months after surgery.
