Özet
İki taraflı ses teli felci (İSTF) sıklıkla tiroid ve paratiroid cerrahisi gibi iyatrojenik bir hasar sonucu oluşur. Fakat serebral infarkt sonrası hava yolu tıkanıklığına neden olan BVKP nadir olarak bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda tekrarlayan serebral infarktın, geç ortaya çıkan ve hayatı tehdit eden bir komplikasyonu olarak solunum durması ile sonuçlanan bir İSTF olgusu sunduk. Atmış yedi yaşında erkek hasta, son 3-4 aydır giderek artan solunum yetmezliği şikayetiyle acil servisimize başvurdu. Özgeçmişinde kalp yetmezliği ve kronik obstruktif akciğer hastalığı öyküsü olmayan hasta, yaklaşık bir yıl önce bir ayda iki kez serebral infarkt geçirmişti. Yapılan solunum sistemi muayenesinde bilateral wheezing ve stridor; nörolojik muayenesinde ise sağ tarafta kuvvet kaybı mevcuttu. Üst solunum yolu obstruksiyonunu değerlendirilmek üzere endoskopik laringoskopi yapıldı. Laringoskopide iki taraflı ses tellerinin orta hatta sabit ve hareketsiz olduğu görüldü. Solunum yetmezliğinde artma ve tekrarlayan solunum durması nedeniyle hastaya trakeostomi açıldı. Operasyon sonrası hastanın solunum yetmezliği geriledi. Solunum fonksiyonları normale dönen hasta taburcu edildi.
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVCP) is usually the result of an iatrogenic injury especially secondary to thyroid and parathyroid surgery. However, BVCP that cause airway obstruction due to serebral cortical stroke very rarely has been reported. We, herein report a case of BVCP that resulted in respiratory arrest as a late and life threatening complication of recurrent cerebral infract. A 67 years old male patient admitted the emergency room with complaint of respiratory insufficiency. His complaint was progressed during last 3-4 months. He had two cerebral infractions attacks in a month approximately one year ago. On admission, physical examination revealed that, he had bilateral wheezing and stridor. He had right sided hemiplegia and had no history of heart failure or chronic obstructive lung disease. Endoscopic laryngoscopy was performed to evaluate upper airway obstruction. Laryngoscopy revealed that bilateral vocal cords were fixed and immobile at midline. Due to recurrent respiratory arrest, insufficient and fixed BVCP, open tracheostomy was perormed. After operation, he had no respiratory insufficiency or any complications. So he discharged from hospital with normal respiratory functions.
