ALFONSO RODRIGUEZ, Javier; MORALES CARBOT, Dimas; PENA CASAL, Carmen Lidia y CASANOLA RIVERO, Orestes. Recurrent paralysis and laryngopharyngeal reflux: Presentation of a case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.
The current work describes the case of a male, 45-years-old, asthmatic patient, who begins with a picture of repeated asphyxia. For that reason, he visited several times the family physician, and when there was no improving, he assisted the otolaryngologic consultation, where a recurrent paralysis was detected. He entered the ospital and a tracheotomy was made. The possible etiologic causes were investigated. During the investigation it was detected that the patient had a gastroesophageal reflux. The reflux was treated, and the paralysis improved. Then, a surgical treatment was practiced against the disease for gastroesophageal reflux.
