Abstract

Nasogastric tube syndrome (NTS) is characterized by acute upper airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Although NTS is a rare cause of vocal cord paralysis, it has the potential of causing serious morbidities even mortality. We here with present a case of concurrent NTS and cerebrovascular disease patient. 73 year-old male was admitted to our university hospital emergency department with acute respiratory distress and stridor days after his cholecystectomy operation and laryngoscopy showed bilateral vocal cord paralysis. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and urgent tracheotomy was performed. On the day after his discharge from the hospital, his vocal cord movements fully recovered state. Nasogastric tube syndrome can be considered in patient who complains because of acute upper airway obstruction with nasogastric tube inserted. Thinking NTS early may be reducing the complication rate.
