- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 25-year-old female private music teacher with control difficulties on her upper-mid range and with vocal fatigue. She was found to have muscle tension dysphonia, reflux laryngitis, and Reinke edema among other issues, and subsequently underwent microdirect laryngoscopy, bilateral injection of 5-fluorouracil, and KTP vaporization of a left VF varix. The patient had voice improvement with less effort six weeks after the operation.
