BACKGROUNDHoarseness is one of the commonest symptoms which brings the patient to physician. Any change in quality of voice must be evaluated thoroughly and promptly as it may underlie some infective or neoplastic lesion which can be managed better if diagnosed at an early stage. METHODSThe study was conducted in Pt. J.N.M. Medical College, Raipur, for period of 1.5 years in which 81 patients with hoarseness were selected. After complete general and ENT examination, required investigations were done. Data was collected, tabulated and compared. Out of the total of 81 patients, 58 were males and 23 were females. Carcinoma laryngo-pharynx was found to be the most common cause of hoarseness. Most of the cases were from middle age group i.e. 50 to 60 years. Associated tobacco addiction in any form was very common in all the patients. RESULTSHoarseness of voice can be an alarming symptom in adult patients, particularly when it is present in males with chronic history of addiction. One should be very cautious during investigations as it leads to malignancy most of the time. Early diagnosis and treatment give good prognosis and better outcome to the patient. CONCLUSIONSHoarseness of voice is just a symptom with a very diverse aetiology. Proper diagnosis through detailed history and prompt examination leads to early diagnosis and management as well.

Introduction Hoarseness is a symptom with a varied etiology ranging from inflammatory condition, benign lesions to malignant lesions. Benign conditions are more common than malignant. Proper knowledge of clinical profile and evaluation is necessary to treat the cause. Objective It was conducted with the aim to study the clinical profile of patients with hoarseness of voice. Materials and Methods It was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 2 years conducted at Department of ENT at Tertiary Health Care Hospital, India. Patients aged above 10 years presenting with hoarseness of voice were included in the study. After detailed history related to sociodemographic particulars, clinical examinations including Hopkin’s rod examination in all patients and direct laryngoscopy, and radiological and histopathological examination were performed whenever indicated. Results Out of total 100 patients, maximum patients (32%) were in the age group of 21 to 30 years. There was slight male preponderance with male:female ratio of 1.17:1. Laborer (29%) was the major group affected in terms of occupation. Most common predisposing factor was smoking (35%). Commonest etiology for hoarseness of voice was chronic laryngitis (20%). Conclusion Hoarseness of voice as a symptom should never be ignored as its etiology may range from simple infection to malignancy. At our tertiary care center majority of patients come from rural area. Most of the etiological factors found in our study were treatable medically or surgically. Early diagnosis is the key to improve the outcome of treatment.

Background: Hoarseness is a symptom used to describe change in normal quality of voice and is usually described as harsh, grating voice which can be lower in pitch and more or less discordant.Methods: The present study was carried out on 160 patients in the Department of ENT in PKDIMS over a period of 2 years from 2018 March to 2020 March. All patients with a history of voice change were evaluated. Results: 160 patients between the age group of 21- 80 years were studied. The number of males and females were 97 (61%) and 63 (39%) respectively. Laborers (32%) and housewives (21%) are the major group affected. Smoking (25%) was the most common predisposing factor followed by alcohol consumption (21%). Voice change can be due to various pathologies. In the present study the most common etiology for voice change was vocal nodules (23%) followed by chronic laryngitis (13%), growth in the pharynx and larynx (11%).Conclusions: Voice is important for our communication.
