Abstract
A 63-year-old man collided with a vehicle while riding a motorcycle. At an emergency hospital, he was diagnosed with cerebral concussion, incomplete cervical cord injury, C6 fracture, facial bone fractures, and lacerations. Radiographical findings indicated that his neck was forced into an extended position. At our rehabilitation hospital, we evaluated the patient’s hoarseness and dysphagia 1 month posttrauma and determined the diagnosis to be due to “traumatic right recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP).” We followed the patient’s RLNP during admission and at our outpatient clinic. His right RLNP gradually recovered and finally disappeared 6 months after the accident. We describe this case within the context of a review of the literature.
