Summary

A patient with a neck tumor underwent surgery and radiation. A subsequent glomus tumor required another operation, leading to vocal cord paralysis. Laser arytenoidectomy successfully restored airway patency.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Neck tumors, including chemodectomas and glomus tumors, present complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Multifocal or recurrent tumors necessitate tailored surgical approaches, balancing tumor removal with functional preservation.
  • Vocal cord paralysis is a potential complication of neck surgery, impacting airway patency and quality of life.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old patient presented with a neck tumor initially diagnosed as a chemodectoma.
  • Post-radiation, a contralateral glomus tumor was identified via angiography.
  • Surgical intervention for the glomus tumor, despite efforts to preserve arterial supply, resulted in bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical resection of both neck tumors was achieved.
  • Bilateral vocal cord paralysis occurred as a complication of the surgical procedures.
  • Laser arytenoidectomy was performed to address the vocal cord paralysis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of vigilant surveillance for multifocal or recurrent tumors in the head and neck.
  • The successful management of bilateral vocal cord paralysis with laser arytenoidectomy demonstrates an effective salvage procedure.
  • Optimal treatment strategies for complex neck tumors require a multidisciplinary approach, considering oncologic and functional outcomes.
