“…For this reason, nodules surgery in children is not the treatment of choice, but rather vocal therapy. 31 The satisfactory results of vocal therapy in 29 children (14 boys and 15 girls) ranging in age from 5 to 12 years with the diagnosis of hyperfunctional dysphonia or vocal nodules, presented by Mackiewicz-Nartowicz et al, 32 confirms the benefits of such treatment, as well as other authors' findings. 33,34 Acid laryngitis was the third most frequent laryngeal diagnosis in this study (10%).…”

“…• Natural history of paediatric vocal nodules: There is no evidence that childhood nodules extend into adolescence or increase the likelihood of adult nodules. Adults who had vocal fold nodules as children do not appear to have as great a propensity for symptomatic voice disorders than other adults (38,39). However, behavioural and surgical treatments remain common practice for children with vocal fold nodules (38) and no evidence-based treatment decision algorithm has been devised to date to our knowledge.…”

Vocal fold nodules present the voice clinic team with a number of clinical dilemmas which are not as simple as previously thought. The definition, aetiology, prevalence and diagnosis are all poorly understood. Furthermore, treatment evidence for both behavioural and surgical approaches is weak. This paper reviews the published evidence pertaining to all of these aspects. Specific areas of uncertainty that remain include: poorly defined nomenclature, the natural history of paediatric vocal nodules, the establishment of criteria to measure successful treatment, optimal configuration of speech therapy regimens and the rationale for surgical intervention. The authors suggest the development of evidence-based guidelines for UK practice.

“…This leads to mild disruption of the vocal signal, perceived as hoarseness. Maturation in communication behaviour and pubertal changes to the structure and function of the larynx in adolescence are associated with the resolution of childhood dysphonia in many cases 22 30…”
