| Resumo: | Introduction and objective: The aging of the voice has become a frequent cause of consultation in the otolaryngologist's daily practice, due to the progressive aging of the population and societies of industrialized countries. With this review, we intend to update the clinical and pathological changes of the larynx that lead to presbyphonia, addressing the most relevant aspects about its causes, clinical manifestations and therapeutic measures. Materials and methods: descriptive and narrative literature review, result of the bibliographic search in the database PubMed with the descriptors strategies [(presbyphonia OR aging voice disorders) AND vocal atrophy]. Revisions, clinical trials and general articles in both english and spanish were selected for the past 10 years. Clinical cases, articles of glottic insufficiency or dysphonia due to other causes were excluded. Results: The systematic review offered 34 articles, of which, 17 met the inclusion criteria. The results should be interpreted with optimism, despite its variability; the presbyphonia is a growing diagnosis, with a greater rise among otorhinolaryngologists dedicated to laryngology. Conclusions: We perform a review on the most relevant aspects regarding the clinical, endoscopic and anatomical findings that occur in presbyphonia. We present the different forms of treatment proposed so far to minimize glottic insufficiency and improve vocal competence in aged people. |
