Dropped Syllables? Catches in Your Voice? | Adductory Spasmodic Dysphonia (AD-SD)

A strained voice, usually with "catches" or dropped syllables or words, may be the result of a rare neurological condition called adductory spasmodic dysphonia (AD-SD). Abnormal muscular tone in vocal cords (laryngeal dystonia) results in abnormal vocal sound (spasmodic dysphonia). This video explains the disorder. Current standard of care is botox, which can dramatically diminish symptoms with 3 or 4 treatments per year. For more videos, photos, and articles go to https://laryngopedia.com/adductor-spa...
