Sarcoidosis presenting as vocal cord palsy: an unusual presentation and literature review
Mohummad Hassan Raza Raja, Muhammad Abdullah Javed, Ali Bin Sarwar Zubairi DOI: 10.1002/rcr2.705
We report the case of a 60-year-old woman, presenting with left vocal cord paralysis (VCP). She was diagnosed with sarcoidosis and treated with corticosteroids with significant improvement; however, tapering of steroid dosage led to relapse of symptoms, without a relapse of the vocal cord palsy. This is the first reported case, with a relapse of the disease without a relapse of VCP, indicating the rarity of sarcoidosis-associated VCP. |
