| Abstract | Nasotracheal intubations are frequently used for airway management during maxillofacial surgery, poor oral access, surgical field avoidance and prolonged ventilation. Complications such as hemorrhage occur more frequently with this route of intubation than with the orotracheal route. We present a 45 year old lady who developed post-operative unilateral vocal cord palsy following a nasotracheal intubation. The patient was put on regular speech therapy. She made a complete recovery of her voice after 11 months. |
