Summary

The specific aim of this study is to develop a growth and development chart (similar to a height or weight chart for children) that identifies the pattern of development of the pediatric vocal cord lamina propria from a single to a three layer structure. A secondary aim is to identify whether this growth chart shows a pattern of linear development or whether there are clear critical periods of development.

Conditions

  • Vocal Fold Development

Interventions

PROCEDURE
