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.
