1.	Mutism (Selective Mutism) 01/01/2021 - "Studies will be excluded if they include animal models or participants with alaryngeal speech, elective mutism, or resonance disorders. "
2.	Spasm (Spasms) 03/01/2000 - "Hypertonicity, spasm, strictures, and hypotonicity of the PE segment were correlated significantly with poor or moderate alaryngeal speech. " 02/01/1993 - "In patients without concurrent myotomy, peak pharyngeal pressures were all greater than 60 mm Hg. With concurrent myotomy, peak pharyngeal pressures averaged less than 40 mm Hg. Concurrent myotomy carries with it the potential for minimizing postoperative fistulization, eliminating dysphagia of cricopharyngeus spasm, and improving the acquisition of alaryngeal speech."
3.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 05/01/1990 - "Laryngectomy for carcinoma of the larynx has a five year survival rate of approximately 80% but the operation has a high morbidity as most patients do not develop effective alaryngeal speech. " 11/01/1983 - "The findings and analysis of this method of alaryngeal speech rehabilitation may have important implications for future therapy of laryngeal carcinoma."
4.	Tracheoesophageal Fistula 01/01/1993 - "Fifty-nine patients underwent tracheoesophageal puncture during laryngectomy, and a voice prosthesis was inserted into the tracheoesophageal fistula to enable alaryngeal speech. "
