Abstract
Nasolaryngoscopy is a low-risk, quick means of making a specific diagnosis for voice complaints; it should be performed before empiric treatment based on history and general examination alone. The most common indications for nasolaryngoscopy are hoarseness, globus sensation, and chronic cough. The most common findings in a primary care setting include laryngopharyngeal reflux (43%), chronic rhinitis (32%), and vocal cord lesions (13%).
