Microscopic bilateral posterior cordotomy in severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with bilateral vocal cord paralysis

Abstract: Instead of using a nasal positive airway pressure (nCPAP) device, she was treated surgically. Her OSAS resolved completely within 5 months of the surgery. Her phonation was preserved, and symptoms such as snoring and hypersomnolance disappeared. In OSAS patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis, MLS-associated bilateral posterior cordotomy can be a choice of treatment as an alternative to nCPAP application.

“…Patients presenting with bilateral vocal fold paralysis from neurological disorder or patients with bilateral vocal fold fixation from cricoarytenoid joint disorder or laryngeal stenosis should raise a high index of clinical suspicion. Coexistent OSA should be considered, and appropriate investigation and treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or surgery should be instigated [42].…”

“…Individual case reports of bilateral vocal paralysis causing OSA having been described, 15,16 Li et al performed a prospective study to formally examine the relationship between these disease processes. 17 The authors' objectives were two-fold: calculate the incidence of SDB 18 studied their hypothesis that laryngeal descent was associated with OSA.…”

“…De forma interesante, la motivación de este estudio se dio al observar durante la consulta médica que los pacientes con PBCV manifestaban, adicionalmente, síntomas sugestivos de SAHOS, los cuales fueron corroborados mediante los hallazgos polisomnográficos antes del procedimiento quirúrgico. El SAHOS es una patología con un efecto importante en la calidad de vida, tanto en su interacción social, ocio y desempeño laboral (21). Por ende, se consideró evaluar el impacto de la intervención quirúrgica y medir el resultado posoperatorio con una polisomnografía posterior.…”
