A Case of Vocal Cord Nodules Masking Essential (Voice) Tremor

Abstract
• Essential tremor is a progressive, potentially debilitating disorder that may be manifested in the voice only. In the case we report, the signs occurred concurrently with the voice characteristics of vocal cord nodules but were subtle. The mildness of the voice tremor precluded treatment at this time, although the results of medical management for the disorder have not been impressive. It is probable that some patients with severe essential (voice) tremor have undergone recurrent laryngeal nerve resection for the disorder. (Arch Otolaryngol 1982;108:52-53)
