Irene, I have not seen any reference to the two disorders co-occurring, so I suspect you are correct about the incidence being low. You are the only person I know presenting with both disorders. I did a bit of searching, and the references that mention both disorders are typically likening spastic dysphonia to 'laryngeal stuttering'. Most of those references are relatively dated--1970's and before. Someone else may know of some references to the dual diagnosis, but since no one is responding to this question, I'd guess that if there is a reference out there, it may be obscure. Good question--wish I had an answer for you. Regards, Lynne
