Abstract
Vocal tics can occur in neuropsychiatric disorders and result in familial distress. Management is challenging, particularly in children with developmental delay. A 5-year-old with cerebral dysgenesis presented with a high amplitude, high-frequency vocal tic. Type II thyroplasty with bilateral cricothyroid muscle myectomy was performed after initial botulinum toxin trial. Amount, volume, and pitch of tics significantly decreased, without change in swallow. Benefits persisted at 1-year follow-up. This is the first description of combined type II thyroplasty with cricothyroid myectomy for high-frequency vocal tic. This can be done safely and provide sustained benefit for a rare, impactful voice disorder.
