title: [Vocal pathology of teachers].
abstract: Out of 100 teachers referred to a phoniatric department for dysphonia, we recorded 11 dysfunctional lesion-free dysphonias, 86 dysphonias with lesions, 3 post-surgical dysphonias, 76 patients referred for a dysphonia with a modification of the spoken voice, and only 3 for the singing voice. 96 suffered from vocal fatigue, and in the course of the clinical examination 85 patients presented a faulty vocal attitude. The most frequent lesions were nodules and para-nodular formations. Vocal re-education was prescribed in 90 cases, and laryngeal microsurgery in 25 cases. The other medical therapies are not be overlooked, such as physiotherapy, thermal cures, psychiatric treatment, treatments of the terrain, and endocrinic treatments. A vocal examination, better information and vocal training of future teachers will make it possible to obviate such disorders.
