Abstract

The characteristic voice of myxedema, which the clinician has for a long time recognized as a feature of the clinical picture of that disease, has aroused but little interest on the part of the laryngologist. It may be because the laryngologic phase of the disease ordinarily does not predominate the clinical picture, and because the disease is usually recognized in its early stages and is promptly and successfully treated, that there is no exhaustive study of it from the point of view of the laryngologist. I am at present engaged in such a study, and would welcome any aid physicians might offer. Pathologic material—myxedematous and cretinous larynges—is especially sought for, but has not been obtained in sufficient volume. The case here presented is of sufficient interest to warrant publication. REPORT OF CASE History. —A woman, aged 42, presented herself in February, 1923, with the chief complaint of orthopnea and a
