Abstract:
Unilateral vocal cord palsy is not uncommon. The common aetiologies include post neck operation particularly thyroid surgery, trauma to the neck, primary or metastatic neck node or bronchogenic carcinoma. We present a case of a 61 years old Malay gentleman who was diagnosed to have lymphoma and started on usual chemotherapy regime for lymphoma. Later on, he developed unilateral vocal cord palsy. Possible aetiologies were discussed.
