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]

• Pain

  Neurolymphomatosis is a rare entity defined as nerve infiltration by neurotropic abnormal lymphocytes which can lead to the development of neuropathy, with typical presentations including pain, hypoesthesia, paresthesis and palsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  CASE REPORT A 60 year old lady presented to the emergency room with 2 days history of abdominal distention, colicky pain and constipation. Her chest x-ray showed pneumoperitoneum. She underwent exploratory laparotomy the same day. [jpma.org.pk]

• 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]

  The most common presenting symptom in children who have bilateral VCP is stridor. Children who have bilateral VCP are more likely to present with stridor and dyspnea than with dysphonia and aspiration. [entokey.com]

• 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]

• 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]

• Erythema

  In our case, we detected erythema of the posterior wall of hypopharynx and arytenoid region with a fiberoptic bronchoscope. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

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]

• Polyps

  A polyp is like a nodule but larger and appears as a swelling, bump, or blister. If swallowing or breathing difficulties are a problem, a tracheotomy may be needed to open the windpipe in order to maintain a safe and stable airway. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

  Surgical treatment is recommended when there are nodules and polyps that need to be removed from the vocal cords; if swallowing or breathing difficulties are a problem; or, if there are other problems that only surgery can treat. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

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]
