Les dysphonies de l'enfant

Dysphonia is a modification of the timbre of the voice which becomes deep. It is more frequent in the child than in the adult. When it is acute, its etiological diagnosis is easy; but when it is chronic, it requires a complete otolaryngologic check-up to set up a diagnosis, and institute the appropriate treatment.
