Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Sulcus vocalis, like vocal fold scarring, is an indentation or retracted area on the vocal fold (cord) from scarring. It's sometimes called a hole in the vocal cord. The vocal cords are the structure that open for breathing, close for swallowing, and vibrate as air passes through to produce sound. With sulcus vocalis, an alteration in the vibration of the cord happens, causing abnormal vocal sounds including hoarseness. It can also cause vocal weakness and fatigue.
