Vocal cord paralysis or paresis as the initial presenting symptom for intracranial tumors in children are rare. Recently, two pediatric patients who were later diagnosed as having intracranial tumors presented with the symptom of voice changes and stridor. Telescopic examination revealed bilateral vocal cord paresis and paralysis as demonstrated by video recordings. The majority of pediatric brain tumors present with both generalized and localized complaints; however, by discussing these two rare cases, we hope to underscore the importance of a thorough workup of the paralyzed or paretic vocal cords.
声带麻痹或轻瘫作为儿童颅内肿瘤的首发症状较为罕见。最近，两名后来被诊断为患有颅内肿瘤的儿科患者表现出声音改变和喘鸣症状。喉镜检查显示双侧声带轻瘫和麻痹，视频记录证实了这一点。大多数小儿脑肿瘤同时伴有全身性和局部性症状；然而，通过讨论这两例罕见病例，我们希望强调对麻痹或轻瘫声带进行全面检查的重要性。
