Laryngeal Granuloma

Laryngeal Granuloma 
This is a benign inflammatory growth, which is commonly seen along one or both of the vocal cord joints. It may occur as a result of intubation, laryngopharyngeal reflux or due to significant vocal abuse, constant throat clearing or chronic cough.

​
​Symptoms
They depend on the exact location and size of the granuloma. Typical symptoms may include:
  • Hoarseness with low-pitched voice
  • Strained voice
  • Chronic cough
  • Frequent throat clearing

​
Treatment
Treatment often includes but is not limited to aggressive anti-reflux management or voice therapy. In some cases, an injection of Botox or surgical removal is indicated. A granuloma can also be removed with a laser but tends to grow back if the underlying problems, such as chronic throat clearing or couch are not managed appropriately. ​​
