Suspension laryngoscopy is a common laryngeal procedure in Endolaryngeal microsurgery (ELMS). Oral mucosa and dental injuries are the known complications of the procedure. Nerve injury however is an infrequent encounter. We report a rare complication of lingual nerve injury which manifested as tongue numbness and altered taste following Endolaryngeal microsurgery procedure. The condition improved completely after few months of conservative management.
悬吊喉镜检查是支撑喉镜下显微手术（ELMS）中一种常见的喉部手术。口腔黏膜和牙齿损伤是该手术已知的并发症。然而，神经损伤并不常见。我们报告了一例罕见的舌神经损伤并发症，表现为支撑喉镜下显微手术后出现舌麻木和味觉改变。经过几个月的保守治疗，病情完全好转。
