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]
She had been referred with a history of high-pitched snoring, apnea witnessed by her spouse, and excessivedaytimesleepiness for the last 5 years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Downsyndrome, 22q deletion syndrome, Robinow's syndrome and cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome, no reports of Moebius syndrome with CBVCP were found in the literature. CBVCP is often associated with central nervous system abnormalities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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 laryngealdiseases related to the visualization of endolaryngeal structures [9[ejo.eg.net]
The RDI, DI, mean saturation and percentage of snoring, loudsnoring 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]
We present a case of a 72-year-old man who had a 2-year history of orthostatic hypotension, neurogenic bladder, impotence, anhydrosis, and extremity weakness and paresthesias.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of a 72-year-old man who had a 2-year history of orthostatichypotension, neurogenic bladder, impotence, anhydrosis, and extremity weakness and paresthesias.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient, a 37-year-old male, was paraplegic, had bilateral intrinsic handmuscleweakness 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]
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]
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated bilateral vocal cord paralysis, and a CT scan of the neck demonstrated a right neckmass. On surgical exploration, the mass was found extending from the thyroid gland and was identified as benign thyroid tissue.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]
In terms of bulbar palsy as a presenting symptom, dysarthria and dysphagia are of common features. Hoarseness, however, is an initial symptom of ALS in only a small number of patients.[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]
The diagnosis of borreliosis was made by detection of IgM and IgG antibodies against Borreliaburgdorferi on enzyme immunoassay and Western blot.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Laboratory evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of meningitis due to Streptococcuspneumoniae. He was intubated on arrival and required 4 days of ventilatory support.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] large subtorcular occipitalencephalocele 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]

Post-surgical intervention is warranted to restore laryngeal muscle strength, agility and coordination. [20] Epidemiology [ edit ] Due to the complex and controversial nature of this condition, [3] epidemiological (incidence) reports vary significantly[en.wikipedia.org]
