Abstract

Perioperative hypoglossal nerve palsy is a rare postoperative complication. We present a case of transient unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy after vocal cord polypectomy. The cause of the hypoglossal nerve palsy in our patient was assumed to be a complication of oropharyngeal manipulation during orotracheal intubation for general anesthesia.

Olgumuzdaki hipoglossal sinir felci, orotrekeal entübasyon sırasında orofaringeal girişimin bir komplikasyonu olarak kabul edildi.
