N2 - Functional speech and voice disorders represent a common subtype of functional movement disorder (FMD). This chapter reviews the epidemiology of functional speech and voice disorders, the general approach to their diagnosis, and the characteristics of specific functional speech and voice disorders that allow them to be distinguished from other neurological disorders affecting voice and speech production. While most commonly presenting as functional dysphonia, stuttering and prosodic abnormalities, functional speech and voice disorders can present with a variety of heterogeneous clinical features, and can be challenging to differentiate from motor speech disorders. As with other subtypes of FMD, a careful approach to the history and physical examination is required to arrive at the proper diagnosis. The potential for rapid reversibility of symptoms with appropriate treatment underscores the importance of prompt and accurate diagnosis of functional speech and voice disorders.
