Tapia's syndrome is a rare complication following cardiac surgery. It includes the extracranial involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the hypoglossal nerve and results in ipsilateral paralysis of the vocal cord and the tongue. It is usually a complication related to anaesthesia and positioning of the head of the patient during surgery. We describe this rare complication which occurred at our institute. A 49-year old man developed Tapia's syndrome after an uneventful coronary artery bypass surgery. He complained of dysphonia, hoarseness of voice and an inability to swallow soon after extubation. The syndrome resolved completely over the following weeks with no neurological deficit.
塔皮亚综合征是心脏手术后一种罕见的并发症。它包括喉返神经和舌下神经的颅外受累,导致同侧声带和舌麻痹。它通常是与手术期间麻醉及患者头部位置相关的并发症。我们描述了在我们研究所发生的这一罕见并发症。一名49岁男性在冠状动脉搭桥手术顺利完成后出现了塔皮亚综合征。拔管后不久,他就抱怨发音困难、声音嘶哑且无法吞咽。该综合征在接下来的几周内完全缓解,没有神经功能缺损。
