Voice disorders encompass a wide range of pathologies that result in various degrees of voice impairment and decreased quality of life, Minimal Associated Pathological Lesions (MAPLs), include a group of non-malignant growths on the vocal folds like vocal fold nodules, polyps, papilloma, Reinke's oedema, polypoidal degeneration and cysts, The pathophysiology of MAPLs include abnormal inflammatory response to local trauma. Histologically, the superficial layer of the lamina propria shows oedema, fibrosis, fibrin and hemosiderin deposit, interstitial haemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration, Treatment options include voice therapy, intralesional steroid injections, and surgical. Although vocal function improves and lesion regresses by vocal hygiene advice and voice therapy, each patient receives two therapy sessions per week for about 3 months of voice treatment in the form of a holistic voice rehabilitation program. A total of 20 sessions are conducted, with each session lasting approximately 20 minutes; Which some patients find difficult. Vocal folds (VFs) local steroid injection could bridge the therapeutic gap between conservative treatment and conventional micro laryngeal surgery (MLS), Steroids are thought to be useful for MAPLs as they share common histological features, including oedema, thick basement membrane, inflammation, and vessel wall thickness. Steroids act by inhibiting both collagen deposition and collagen synthesis. Also, it acts by inhibiting fibroblastic proliferation and activity plus reduction of the extracellular matrix deposition. Office-based vocal fold steroid injection (VFSI) can be performed through transoral, percutaneous and trans nasal routes, With several benefits Compared to MLS, it may be conducted in the office under local anaesthesia in about 20 minutes, saving high costs of general anaesthesia and hospital admission, decreasing lost workdays associated with recurrent voice therapy sessions. Hyaluronidase (HAase) is a pre
