Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is considered a rare focal laryngeal dystonia characterized by task-specific voice dysfluency resulting from selective intrinsic laryngeal musculature hyperfunction. Symptoms may be attenuated by a sensory trick. Although SD can be seen at times in generalized dystonia syndrome, it is typically a sporadic phenomenon, and the involvement of the laryngeal adductor muscles is more common than that of the abductor muscles. This research reviews the literature for the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment options, and current management methods of SD. Technological advances have enabled clinicians to better understand the connection between laryngeal function and dysfunction. Refinements in imaging and genetic investigation techniques have helped better understand the underlying mechanisms of this neurolaryngology disorder. Currently, the standard of care for SD is the symptomatic management of botulinum toxin (BT) chemodenervation. This is supported by a large body of literature attesting to its efficacy in many different research studies, particularly in the uncomplicated adductor form of the disorder. Efforts towards surgical treatment predate the development of BT treatment by a decade, but the long-term efficacy has not been proven and, further research is expected. Symptom relief in patients with abductor SD and dystonia with tremors after surgical and BT treatments and those in patients remains suboptimal.
