[Spasmodic dysphonia. Investigation and therapeutic methods].
We report the successful treatment of three patients with adduction spasmodic dysphonia by direct injection of botulinum toxin into the vocal cord(s). This was achieved under electromyographic control, and this and other otolaryngeal techniques were used to monitor treatment and study this often puzzling condition.
