Abstract

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is rarely seen following trauma. Traumacan be penetrating or blunt injury. Following the acute event, the mostcommon presentation is hoarseness of voice. Herein we present a case ofrecurrent laryngeal nerve injury noticed after a blunt trauma. Indirectlaryngoscopy helps to identify and diagnose vocal cord palsy while ComputedTomography (CT) scan of neck helps to evaluate the extent of injury as well asto identify the primary cause of the injury. Patient morbidity can be reducedwith prompt diagnosis and management.

Özet

Travma sonrası rekürren laringeal sinir (RLN) hasarı nadiren görülür. Travma, penetran veya künt yaralanma olabilir. Akut olayı takiben, en yaygın bulgu ses kısıklığıdır. Burada künt travma sonrası fark edilen rekürren laringeal sinir hasarı olgusunu sunuyoruz. İndirekt laringoskopi, vokal kord paralizisinin belirlenmesine ve teşhis edilmesine yardımcı olurken, Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT), yaralanmanın boyutunu değerlendirmek ve yaralanmanın birincil nedenini tanımlamak için yardımcı olur. Hasta morbiditesi hızlı teşhis ve yönetim ile azaltılabilir.
