DESCRIPTION  These are benign, small swellings situated on the apposing surfaces of the true cords, commonly at the junction of the anterior one-third and posterior two-thirds. They may be symmetrical. The swellings are made of keratin and result from constant banging together of the vocal cords due to vocal overuse - as in singing, teaching - or abuse - poor speed production. |

The vocal cords (or folds) are two small muscles located within the larynx (voice box) that are responsible for voice production. They are found at about the level of the Adam's apple (thyroid cartilage) in the neck. The vocal cords are very small (about 18mm in length for males and 11mm in length for females). |
Most of the time the vocal cords lie apart, forming a "V" shaped opening. During speech, the vocal cords come together and produce sound by vibrating. Movement of the lips and tongue change this sound to create individual speech sounds. |
Vocal cord nodules are callous-like bumps on the vocal cords. They can form on one or both of the cords. They usually are located on the front 1/3 of the vocal cord, and range in size from a pinhead to a split pea. During normal speech, the vocal cords should press firmly together. However, if nodules are present the cords cannot close completely. Therefore, extra air escapes and the voice sounds hoarse and breathy as a result. |
Vocal abuse and misuse cause the vocal cords to close with excessive force (i.e. bang together). This may result in the formation of vocal nodules at the point of maximum contact. As the nodules begin to form, a slight reddening can be noted on the margin of the cord. This reddening is soon followed by a localized swelling or thickening on the edge of the cord. Finally, a definite nodule or bump develops and becomes harder and more fibrotic with time, just like a callous can form on your hand if you use a shovel without gloves. |
Any one or more of the following can contribute to the development of vocal cord nodules: |
- Misuse of the voice
-
The use of an incorrect pitch, volume, or quality
-
Inadequate breath support
-
Excessive tension in the neck muscles when speaking
- Abuse of the voice (the most common cause of vocal nodules in children)
-
Excessive shouting, screaming cheering or crying
-
Strained vocalizations (for example, sounds used to imitate animal noises or motors)
-
Excessive loud talking
-
Hard vocal attacks (starting words abruptly)
-
Excessive coughing or throat clearing
- Other factors
-
Chronic (long standing) upper respiratory infections or allergies
-
Exposure to smoking
-
Reflux (stomach acid coming up the swallowing tube)
-
Endocrine or Hormonal imbalance
-
Fatigue
-
Allergies
-
Personality or general adjustment of the child
