  • Title: Transient palsy of peripheral cranial nerves following open heart surgery.
    Author: Soyal OB, Turan S, Durak P, Erdemli O.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2006 May; 47(5):422-4. PubMed ID: 16645695.
    Abstract:
    A 32-year-old man developed hoarseness of voice, inability to swallow and restricted movement of the tongue after open heart surgery. Peripheral injury of the cranial nerves IX, X and XII was suspected, and it was thought that the duration of the surgery together with the endotracheal tube cuff and trans-oesophageal echocardiography probe pressure, as well as the head and neck position might have been the causes of this complication.
