Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis generally arises from trauma, tumor compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, surgery on neck and neurological diseases. Progressive supranuclear palsy is a rare degenerative disease showing supranuclear ophthalnoplegia, rigidity, bradykinesia, dysarthria and dementia. Bilateral vocal cord paralysis in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy can be found only in a few cases reported in literature. The finding of bilateral vocal cord paralysis is important because it can be life threatening. We managed a patient with the laterofixation of vocal cord for preventing respiratory failure due to glottic airway compromise. We report this case with a review of literature.
