Abstract

Genel anestezi, düşük morbidite ve mortalite oranına sahip, güvenli bir işlemdir. Tek seferde sağlanan, girişimsel olmayan endotrakeal entübasyon sonrası minor travma ile gelişen orta derecede ses kısıklığı ve boğaz ağrısı, erken postoperatif dönemde normal kabul edilir. Ses kısıklığı ile seyreden vokal kord paralizi ise endotrakeal entübasyonun çok nadir görülen bir komplikasyonudur. Bu nedenle özellikle ortognatik cerrahiden sonra ortaya çıkarsa erken tanı koymak zordur. Ortognatik cerrahi sonrası bu komplikasyon, sadece bir vaka raporunda bildirilmiştir. Bu olguda, 33 yaşında sağlıklı bir kadın hastada bimaksiller ortognatik cerrahi sonrası gelişen, ses kısıklığı ile seyreden tek taraflı vokal kord paralizi bildirildi. Ses kısıklığı entübasyona bağlı olarak kabul edildi ve hastada video laringoskopik inceleme yapılana kadar erken postop fazda vokal kord paralizi teşhis edilemedi. Vokal kord paralizi beş ay sürdü ve herhangi bir girişimsel tedavi uygulanmadan düzeldi. Çok nadir bir komplikasyon olmasına rağmen, vokal kord paralizi cerrahlar veya anestezi uzmanları tarafından göz ardı edilmemelidir ve ortognatik cerrahi sonrası vokal kord fonksiyonlarına dikkat etmelidir. Aspirasyon riski yoksa, herhangi bir girişimsel tedavi yapmadan önce en az 6 ay beklenmesi gerekir.

Unilateral vocal cord paralysis following maxillofacial deformity correction

Abstract

General anesthesia has a low morbidity and mortality rate and is considered a safe procedure. Moderate hoarseness and sore throat are considered acceptable during the early postoperative period due to minor trauma even after first attempt noninvasive intubation. Vocal cord paralysis is an infrequent complication of endotracheal intubation. It also presents with hoarseness and that is why early diagnosis is difficult, especially if it appears after the orthognathic surgery procedure. There is only one case report of this complication after orthognathic surgery. In this case report, a 33-year-old healthy female patient who had unilateral vocal cord paralysis after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery is presented. Although hoarseness was the first symptom, it was considered as mild hoarseness due to intubation and could not be diagnosed in the early postoperative phase until the video-laryngoscopic examination was performed. Vocal cord paralysis lasted for five months and resolved spontaneously. Although very unusual, surgeons or anesthesiologists should be aware of this unpleasant complication and pay attention to vocal cord functions after orthognathic surgery. If there is no risk of aspiration, at least six months is required before performing any interventions.
