Abstract

Laryngeal tuberculosis is the most common granulomatous disease of the larynx. In this study, the videostroboscopic findings and vocal assessments of a 28-year-old female with laryngeal and pulmonary tuberculosis were evaluated. Although it can be treated successfully, tuberculosis of the larynx may cause irreversible changes in voice quality which is very important for vocal professionals.
