Abstract

Vocal cord (VC) palsy is a rare clinical condition. One of the causes is oesophageal cancer. It is commonly unilateral in nature and affects more on the left. A non-traumatic non-iatrogenic bilateral VC palsy is an extremely rare encounter. We report a case of bilateral VC palsy secondary to an advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
