ABSTRACT

Background:

Hemihypertrophy (HH) is a rare congenital malformation usually recognized at birth. It is often diagnosed due to impaired aesthetics and mobility caused by asymmetry of the face, body, or limbs. Some patients are diagnosed due to the presence of tumors and mental abnormalities. Case presentation A 14-year-old boy with hoarseness since infancy and progressively increasing with age. Laryngoscopy and CT of the larynx suggested bilateral asymmetry of the laryngeal structures, and voice analysis suggested severe voice disorders. The boy had no history of trauma or other medical conditions, but had physical asymmetry since birth, which coincided with the laryngeal asymmetry. After a detailed examination and evaluation, we considered that his voice disorders were unexpectedly caused by crossed idiopathic HH. Since the boy in his growth spurts is not a candidate for surgery, we implemented individualized voice correction therapy. After practicing, the boy's voice disorders were significantly relieved.

Conclusion:

Congenital HH can cause asymmetrical development of the larynx, which leads to voice disorders. Voice correction therapy is an effective treatment for patients unsuitable for surgery.
