- Weak Breathy Voice) This video shows the function of a
larynx
from a 51 year old white female with a

patient was a non-smoker and has Lupus Erythematosus. Her voice is
weak but has a good airway. Three years ago she had a transient

for three weeks. Notice that her true vocal cords stay apart but
the apices of the arytenoid cartilages make contact. There is even
a contact ulcer forming on the apex of the left artyenoid cartilage.
