Laryngeal videostroboscopy (also known as laryngovideostroboscopy or video strobe laryngoscopy) is an important diagnostic tool that allows an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist to view the vocal cords in your larynx (voice box) in slow motion.
It uses a stroboscopic lamp, which gives out regular flashes of light. Either a rigid endoscope through the mouth or a flexible endoscope through the nose may be used to visualise the voice box after applying local anaesthetic.
