Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Hoarseness is generally due to change in quality of voice. The etiology of hoarseness varies from benign conditions to malignant diseases, hence should not be ignored. All cases of hoarseness persisting for more than 3 weeks should be investigated for the underlying diseases. It may indicate either malignancy of larynx or silent bronchogenic carcinoma. A descriptive study of cases was done in Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College and Hospital for a period of 18 months. The etipathological factors, age and duration of presentation, and type of condition were analyzed to arrive at differential etiopathological conditions responsible at different age groups.
