CHORDITIS VOCALIS INFERIOR Meaning and Definition

1. Chorditis vocalis inferior is a medical term used to describe an inflammation or swelling of the vocal cord. The vocal cords are small, delicate muscles located in the larynx, responsible for producing sound and enabling speech. Chorditis vocalis inferior specifically refers to the inflammation and subsequent damage occurring in the lower part of the vocal cord.

   This condition can be caused by various factors, such as vocal strain, infection, trauma, or prolonged exposure to irritants like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms of chorditis vocalis inferior may include hoarseness, difficulty in speaking or singing, a rough or raspy voice, vocal fatigue, and discomfort or pain in the throat.

   Diagnosis of this condition often involves a thorough examination of the vocal cords using specialized equipment, such as a laryngoscope or videostroboscopy, to observe any abnormalities or changes in the vocal cord's structure or movement. Treatment options for chorditis vocalis inferior typically depend on the underlying cause of inflammation. This may involve rest and vocal cord exercises to reduce strain, medication to alleviate symptoms or address an infection, or surgical interventions in severe cases.

   Recovery from chorditis vocalis inferior usually requires a period of vocal rest and rehabilitation, where the individual may need to refrain from activities that strain the vocal cords and follow a prescribed treatment plan. It is important to seek medical attention if any symptoms persist or worsen to prevent potential complications and ensure proper management of this condition.

2. Chronic subglottic laryngitis, an inflammation limited mainly to the under surface of the vocal cords and adjacent parts.
