BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Spasmodic Dysphonia

Select your language:

Spasmodic dysphonia is a rare, chronic neurological disorder that causes spasms in the vocal chords, interrupting the ability to create sound. Symptoms may start slowly, with the voice sounding tight with breaks when speaking. Symptoms develop over time until speech is difficult to understand. The cause of the spasms is generally thought to be an abnormality in the central nervous system.
