OBJECTIVE: To identify and describe voice, speech and @entity4939 in @entity1 with Sj  @entity244 ( @entity244 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective cross-sectional descriptive observational study. @entity1 with @entity244 were interviewed and physically explored. Nasolaryngeal endoscopy, video laryngeal stroboscopy, fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and computerized voice spectrographic analysis (PRAAT   software) of voice and speech were also performed. RESULTS: We included 31 @entity1 (96.7% @entity1 ). Average time of evolution was 5 years; mean age was 48.4 years. Of these @entity244 cases, 87% were secondary and 13% primary. Symptomatology: 70.9% @entity1282 , 41.9% @entity7364 , 35.4% dysglossia, 3.2% @entity4653 . We found abnormalities principally in: one or more cranial nerves (V, VII, IX, X, XII) (67.7%), nasopharyngolaryngeal mucosa (77.4%), mucosal wave of vocal cords (90%), swallowing mechanism (90.3%), spectrogram of the vowels /e/ (58.06%) and /i/ (51.61%), and rhythm of the trisyllable "pataka" (35.48%). CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with @entity244 have voice, speech and @entity4939 , not only associated to xerosis, but perhaps also to @entity16 , probably secondary to the syndrome.
