    AbstractIt is well known the vocal pathology occurs more frequently in professionals using their voice than in the general population. Teachers form a particular group. We performed a study on 1.046 teachers in 1993 to quantify the percentage presenting a visible organic lesion of the vocal cords. We sent out a questionnaire on dysphonia and the professional vocal activity practised, and we performed a laryngeal examination with video-laryngo-stroboscopy. The results obtained evidence 218 cases of pathological exploration, i.e. 20.84% with a predominance of vocal nodules (43%) and Reinke oedema (18%). The analytical method and the results obtained are presented.
