Abstract

Hoarseness is a common symptom, affecting 3% to 9% of the adult population [6]. Flexible laryngoscopy can facilitate the early detection of vocal cord abnormalities. Objective: To assess the clinical characteristics and vocal cord images through flexible laryngoscopy in patients with hoarseness. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at 30-4 Hospital from January 2024 to September 2024 on 126 patients with hoarseness. Results: Males accounted for 54%, females for 46%. The majority of patients were of working age, with a duration of hoarseness of less than 1 month, and mild hoarseness being most prevalent. The most common reason for hospital admission was hoarseness (46%). Congestion was the most frequently observed lesion (82.5%). Statistically significant relationships were found between the degree of hoarseness and the duration of illness, between the degree of hoarseness and vocal cord lesions, and between the reason for hospital admission and laryngoscopic findings. Conclusion: The degree of hoarseness, duration of illness, and reason for admission can provide indications of vocal cord lesions, aiding in appropriate diagnosis.
