The results were followings; 1) The incidence was high in elder age group(mean age : 53.7 years old). 2) Bilateral lesions were much more frequent than unilateral ones(67.6% vs. 32.4%). 3) Nine out of 34 patients had associated local pathologies and nine out of 34 patients had associated systemic pathologies. 4) Smoking appeared to be the most dominant predisposing factor(76.5%). 5) Maximal phonation time was decreased in 10 cases out of 14 cases(71.4%) and phonation quotient was increased in 9 cases out of 14 cases(64.3%). 6) All the cases were treated with sucking technique and the voice quality was improved in 32 cases(94.1%) The average duration for voice improvement was 2.8 months.
