An autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland and impairs its ability to produce thyroid hormones. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis may lead to an increase in fluid in the lamina propria and subsequent increased vocal fold mass. This may result in hoarseness, vocal fatigue, reduced pitch range, decreased average vocal pitch and globus sensation. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Also called Hashimoto’s disease.[1]
