Glossary

Note: Within a definition, words in italics are defined elsewhere in the glossary. Words beginning with * were coined or brought into the language of voice disorders by Dr. Bastian, or to our knowledge are used primarily by BVI physicians and Bastian-trained fellows. Please note that we may be adding terms to this list from time to time. Copyright © 2008 Bastian Voice Institute.

Kenalog™: The trade name of triamcinolone acetonide, a steroid preparation sometimes injected into inflammatory lesions in the larynx or elsewhere.

Keratosis: A lesion seen most often on the mucosa of the vocal folds. It typically appears as a white patch (leukoplakia). Histologically one sees heaping up of the surface layer of cells, which do not mature and “slough off” as they should.
