  • Title: Vocal cord paralysis in the Shy-Drager syndrome. A cause of postoperative respiratory obstruction.
    Author: Drury PM, Williams EG.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1991 Jun; 46(6):466-8. PubMed ID: 2048665.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented in which unexpected and persistent postoperative respiratory problems led to the finding of bilateral abductor vocal cord paralysis and confirmed the diagnosis of the Shy-Drager syndrome. Anaesthetists should be aware that vocal cord paralysis may be a feature of this uncommon condition, and should consider the possibility of glottic obstruction as a cause of ventilatory difficulties.
