We describe what appears to be the first case in the medical literature of sarcoidosis presenting as isolated, bilateral true vocal cord paralysis resulting from compressive bilateral mediastinal adenopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

  She had been referred with a history of high-pitched snoring, apnea witnessed by her spouse, and excessive daytime sleepiness for the last 5 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Multiple Congenital Anomalies

  congenital anomalies, toxic and metabolic causes, inflammation and tumours of the larynx (1, 2, 5). [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

• Stridor

  We report a case of bilateral vocal cord paralysis leading to significant stridor in a patient with atypical parkinsonism (probable MSA). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dyspnea

  Management of severe dyspnea caused by association of these two complications of thyroidectomy means a great therapeutic challenge. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Ultrasound has become a very important widely used diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of head and neck diseases; however, ultrasound has rarely been used in the diagnosis of laryngeal diseases related to the visualization of endolaryngeal structures [9 [ejo.eg.net]

• Loud Snoring

  The RDI, DI, mean saturation and percentage of snoring, loud snoring and sleep without snoring were estimated and compared pre- and postoperatively. The results were compared by the Student's t-test for dependent values. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tonsillar Hypertrophy

  We did not detect airway malformation, tonsillar hypertrophy, or erythema of the hypopharynx during laryngoscopy. The tip of the laryngoscope had not touched the vocal cords or the posterior wall of pharynx during the procedure. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

• Hand Muscle Weakness

  The patient, a 37-year-old male, was paraplegic, had bilateral intrinsic hand muscle weakness and sphincter involvement following a whiplash cervical spinal injury. A C5-C6 ACD/F for traumatic C5-C6 disc prolapse was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Osteophyte

  We report the MR and CT findings of a case of bilateral vocal cord paralysis caused by cervical spinal osteophytes compressing the recurrent laryngeal nerves. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Somnolence

  Within minutes, fever and somnolence developed, followed by progressive respiratory distress and stridor, without generalized weakness. The child's condition progressed to complete airway obstruction, and intubation was necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  Vocal cord paralysis is a rare and often neglected condition, contributing to repeated episodes of acute respiratory failure. Flow-volume loop is a useful tool when symptoms are suggestive of upper airway obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Bradykinesia

  Patients can struggle to manage a tracheostomy due to the tremor and bradykinesia associated with their parkinsonism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On further workup he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Genetic workup supported the diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome. We report here a case with an unusual clinical presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In particular, this workup must include topical anesthesia to the larynx so as to enable an extremely close visualization of the posterior commissure and subglottis, which may uncover evidence of scarring. [laryngopedia.com]

• Hypercapnia

  Treatment with nocturnal inspiratory positive airway pressure via nasal mask improved symptoms and reduced hypercapnia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Occipital Encephalocele

  […] large subtorcular occipital encephalocele in neonate carries higher risk of associated hindbrain anomalies and secondary process for neurological deterioration which predict the surgical outcomes and long-term prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate long-term results of surgical treatment for bilateral vocal cord paralysis using objective and subjective measures of breathing and voice quality. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional case series. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The role of laryngeal electromyography (EMG) in contributing to the diagnosis and prognosis of vocal cord immobility in children has been debated, in part because the standard awake, percutaneous technique used in adults is not practical. [entokey.com]

There was no obvious cause for the paralysis and possible etiological factors are discussed. Overextension of the neck during intubation is suspected of being the etiological agent causing stretching of both the vagus nerves. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
