Yes. Laryngeal tuberculosis is the TB of the vocal cords. It is the most common disease of the larynx.
It can be secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis or can be primary without any involvement of pulmonary. There can also be permanent changes in the quality of voice causing hoarseness and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing).
