  • Title: [Vocal cord palsy after the use of a laryngeal mask airway].
    Author: Minoda Y, Yoshimine K, Nagata E, Kawaguchi Y, Sakamoto M, Takehara A.
    Journal: Masui; 2003 Mar; 52(3):291-3. PubMed ID: 12703075.
    Abstract:
    A 58-year-old woman underwent oophorectomy for an ovarian tumor. Anesthesia was maintained with epidural block, and propofol and fentanyl anesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway. After the operation, she complained of hoarseness and difficulty in swallowing. Right vocal cord palsy was found by a ENT surgeon. The condition returned to normal two months after the operation. We have to have in mind that vocal cord palsy may occur even if we use a laryngeal mask airway. At least we have to pay attention to intra-cuff pressures and the position of the laryngeal mask airway.
