Abstract:
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis may occur as a result of thyroid and cervical surgery, tracheal intubation, trauma, and neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases. However, there are only a few reported cases of bilateral cord paralysis associated with short-term endotracheal intubation. We report a case of bilateral vocal cord palsy leading to respiratory obstruction following short-term endotracheal intubation.
