Diagnosing Voice Conditions

At Cardon Children’s Medical Center we offer laryngeal videoendoscopic stroboscopy, the gold-standard method of seeing  vocal folds and upper airway.

This painless, minimally invasive procedure:

• Provides approximately 65 percent greater magnification than a flexible nasendoscope with halogen light source.
• Provides a simulated slow-motion view of the truevocal folds as they vibrate.
• Makes it easier to detect potentially malignant lesions that could be missed using laryngeal mirror or nasoendoscopy and halogen light.
• Allows for improved identification and differential diagnosis of lesions.
• Our exams are painless, require no anesthesia and
  are reviewed with the patient and family members.

Patients are invited to bring a DVD and our pathologists can make a copy of the exam for you during your appointment.
