Abstract:
In this era of reduced operative time, in-office procedures are commonly being performed by otolaryngologists. Major complications are rare and emphasis is on patient safety. In this report, we present a case of vocal fold palsy during a routine oropharyngeal lesion biopsy. Clinical presentation as well as our explanation of the case will be discussed.
