  • Functional voice disorders: A review of 109 patients

  • M. W. M. Bridger, Ruth Epstein
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 June 2007, pp. 1145-1148

  • The records of 109 patients, presenting with functional voice disorder during the years 1977–1981, have been reviewed. The mean age was 45 years and the F: M ratio is 2: 1. Excess voice use was not obviously an aetiological factor. Sixty-one of the 109 patients (56 per cent) were cured by speech therapy, in that their voices returned to their pre-morbid state, and a further 28 (26 per cent) were improved by therapy; seven patients (6 per cent) did not improve and 13 (12 per cent) were lost to follow-up. Of the patients that were ‘cured’, 54 per cent were discharged after three months' treatment and 72 per cent after six months' treatment. Eight per cent required treatment for more than a year.

  • Melanotic neuro-ectodermal tumour of infancy: A case report

  • M. V. McCormick, D. S. Hogg, V. Chrystal, M. R. B. Cook
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    29 June 2007, pp. 755-760

  • A case of melanotic neuro-ectodermal tumour of infancy (retinal anlage tumour, melanotic ameloblastoma) is described. Although a well recognized entity, the biological origin of this tumour is still disputed.

    A confusing array of names has been awarded to this tumour which characteristically occurs in infants under one year of age, commonly arising from the maxilla but also from the mandible, frontal bone, mediastinum, shoulder and cerebellum.

    While the origin of the tumour remains unclear, the ultra-structural evidence of Haywood et al. (1969) supports a neural crest origin. Consistent with this are the findings by Borello and Gorlin (1966) of high urinary vanillylmandelic acid excretion in one case and the correlation of tumour enzyme patterns with those of paragangliomas, neuroblastomas and phaeochromocytomas.
