  RESULTS
  In the two youngest patients the laryngoscopic changes were located on vocal folds, mostly as yellow nodules. The appropriate mobility of both vocal folds was found. The MDVP analysis particularly revealed changes in parameters describing perturbation of amplitude in both cases. In the third case oedema in the region of the crico-arytenoid joints and vestibular folds were observed. MDVP analysis showed slight disturbances in the parameters describing frequency perturbation.
