Dysphonia Plica Ventricularis and Emotional Dysregulation

Dysphonia plica ventricularis (DPV) is a type of functional dysphonia (FD) which can be
caused by several reasons. DPV-emotional type is seen secondary to emotional crisis which is
equivalent to psychogenic/dissociative dysphonia. Here we describe a case of DPV secondary
to emotional dysregulation with an underlying emotionally unstable personality disorder. Crisis
intervention and emphasis on regular compliance to treatment has been discussed.
