Which of the following statements is not true for contact ulcer?
High-Yield Explanation
Contact ulcer is seen on the vocal process(es) of the larynx. Acute ulceration can occur after intubation but contact ulcer with a granuloma is the result of vocal abuse, repeated throat clearing and gastro-oesophageal reflux. Prolonged intubation causes ulceration of mucosa over the vocal process, infection and granuloma formation. However, adductor dysphonia is a type of spasmodic dysphonia in which there is irregular hyperadduction of cords.
