Abstract:
The treatment of bilateral recurrent laryngeal paralysis is usually tracheotomy or various forms of irreversible surgery with removal of parts of the larynx. Since recurrent laryngeal paralysis is reversible in 33% of cases, tracheotomy is usually the treatment of choice. Here, in this case, we present an alternative reversible solution in a patient where a tracheostomy tube was a suboptimal solution.
