Symptoms: Anxiety, Aphonia, Speech disorder
Clinical narrative: The pt has developed the inability to talk since 4/11/00. The pt goes to speech therapy once a week, counseling and has more tests scheduled. Follow up letter: We saw pt today regarding complete loss of his voice about two weeks ago. He reports a mild sore throat with minor hoarseness prior to the loss of his voice, and a long history of GERD presently treated with Tagamet. He states that he had previously been treated with Prilosec for this, and felt that it gave him better relief of his symptoms. Pt also relates a family history of Parkinson's disease with the recent diagnosed of his father and brother in the last two weeks. He does not smoke or use tabacco, and reports only occasional use of alcohol. Your notes with the barium swallow report were reviewed. Flexible nasolaryngoscopy under topical anesthesia revealed no lesions and good movement of his vocal cords bilaterally. He did show evidence of GERD with some redness of the posterior larynx, but the remainder of the exam was unremarkable. In light of the essentially normal laryngeal exam along with the stress pt is facing with his family's health, we feel that he has hysterical aphonia. We have given him enough Prilosec samples for one month, but asked that he check back with you for treatment of his anxiety and functional aphonia. He is very concerned with the development of Parkinson's in his family, and fears that he will face it also.
