Abstract:
Two cases, a 41-year-old female and a 53-year-old female presenting with systemic lupus erythematosus and left vocal cord paralysis, are described in this paper. In both cases, laryngeal lupus and pulmonary hypertension were not detected. The laryngeal symptoms and signs were not improved by treatment with steroids, despite the systemic lupus erythematosus being under control.
