Dysphonia Plica Ventricularis and Emotional Dysregulation

Abstract

Dysphonia plica ventricularis(DPV) is a type of functional dysphonia(FD) which can be caused by several reasons. DPV-emotional type is seen secondary to emotional crisis which is equivalent to psychogenic/dissociative dysphonia. Here we describe a case of DPV secondary to emotional dysregulation with an underlying emotionally unstable personality disorder. Crisis intervention and emphasis on regular compliance to treatment has been discussed.
