Abstract

Functional aphonia is a functional voice disorder. Though common in adults, it is not often seen in young children. The case reported here highlights an unusually prolonged duration of the condition and the possibility of quick resolution by faradic stimulation. (J Pediatr Neurol 2003; 1(2): 111–112).
