Laser Posterior Cordectomy for Bilateral Abductor Vocal Cord Palsy : A Case Report
Mohamad, Irfan; Jihan, Wan Shah; Mohamad, Hazama & Abdullah, Baharuddin
Abstract
Bilateral abductor vocal cord palsy is comparatively a rare vocal cord lesion, especially in a patient with no history of neck mass, previous surgery or trauma. Many patients are not stridulous. A patient presenting with stridor may need emergency airway management before the other treatment is commenced. We report a case of bilateral abductor palsy which required an emergency tracheostomy and subsequently a laser posterior cordectomy.
