This led to major complications such as vocal ligament scarring.
2.
"' Reinke's space "'is a potential space between the vocal ligament and the overlying mucosa.
3.
These differences in newborn vocal fold composition would also be responsible for newborns inability to articulate sounds, besides the fact that their lamina propria is a uniform structure with no vocal ligament.
4.
Interestingly, the results show that the vocal fold mucosae were hypoplastic, and rudimentary, and like newborns, did not have any vocal ligament, Reinke's space, or layered structure.
5.
Some speakers and singers leave the cartilaginous portion of the glottis open ( sometimes called'mutational chink'), and only the front two-thirds of the vocal ligaments enter the vibration.
6.
Other complications of surgery include tissue scarring due to damage to the vocal ligament during the incision and vocal cord stiffening due to over-suctioning of the superficial lamina propria ( Reinke s space ).
7.
It is to the vestibular ligaments ( vestibular folds once covered with mucous membrane ) what the rima glottidis is to the vocal ligaments ( vocal folds once covered with mucous membrane )-the space formed when the folds are separated.
