Understanding Vocal Cord Dysfunction: Laryngoscopy vs. Videostroboscopy
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a condition that occurs when the vocal cords do not function correctly, leading to breathing difficulties, hoarseness, and other symptoms. The diagnosis of VCD often involves a laryngoscopy or videostroboscopy procedure, which enables doctors to examine the vocal cords and identify any abnormalities in their structure or movement. Laryngoscopy involves inserting a flexible or rigid tube with a camera attached into the throat, while videostroboscopy uses a special camera to capture slow-motion video images of the vocal cords. Both procedures are effective diagnostic tools, but they differ in their invasiveness, the level of detail provided, and patient experience. In this blog post, we will discuss VCD, laryngoscopy, and videostroboscopy in detail, including their differences and benefits, to help individuals better understand the condition and the diagnostic tools used to diagnose it.
