Abstract

The most common complications of directlaryngoscopy, which is an indispensable part ofotolaryngology practice, are minor mucosal lesions.Rarely, hypoglossal nerve, vocal fold, and lingualnerve palsies may occur. This case presentation isabout unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy followingdirect laryngoscopy. A 60-year-old-man was admittedwith a complaint of hoarseness for 3 months. Directlaryngoscopy and biopsy of the right vocal fold wereperformed with the preliminary diagnosis of glotticcancer. The day after surgery, he complained ofdysphagia. The tongue deviated to the left side of thetongue while protrusion with hypotonia of the leftanterior two-thirds. Computerized tomography wasperformed to exclude hematoma, regardinganticoagulant use before surgery. The palsy completelyrecovered after 2 months of surgery without anytreatment. Shifting of laryngoscope from the midlineto the left side for better visualization of the rightvocal cord may be the reason for this palsy. Careshould be taken to keep the laryngoscope in themidline as much as possible during surgery.

Özet

Kulak burun boğaz pratiğinin vazgeçilmezlerinden olan direkt larengoskopinin en sık görülen komplikasyonları minör mukozal yaralanmalardır. Nadir olarak hipoglossal sinir felci, kord paralizisi, lingual sinir felci gibi komplikasyonlar görülebilir. Bu olguda direkt larengoskopi sonrası geçici hipoglossus paralizisi olan hasta sunulmaktadır. 60 yaş erkek hasta 3 aydır olan ses kısıklığı şikâyeti ile başvurdu. Hastaya sağ glottik larenks kanseri ön tanısı ile direkt larengoskopi yapılarak biyopsi alındı. Operasyondan 1 gün sonra yutma güçlüğü tariflemesi üzerine yapılan muayenesinde dilin sol tarafa deviye ve ön üçte ikilik kısmın hipotonik olduğu görüldü. Antikoagülan kullanımı nedeniyle kanama ve hematomu dışlamak için tomografi çekildi. Tedavisiz izlenen hastanın 2 ay sonra paralizinin tamamen düzeldiği görüldü. Sağ kordun daha iyi görülebilmesi için larengoskopun orta hattan sol tarafa kaydırılması paralizinin nedeni olabilir. Cerrahi boyunca larengoskopun mümkün olduğunca orta hatta kalmasına özen gösterilmelidir.
