다른 신경학적 증후의 동반 없이 연하장애와 일측 성대마비를보인 외측 연수경색 1예 = A Case Of Lateral Medullary Infarction Presenting as Isolated Dysphagiawith Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

vocal cord paralysis are caused by diseases of the central nervous system, and lateral medullary infarction (LMI) is a well-known condition that causes dysphagia and unilateral laryngeal paralysis. However, cases of LMI with isolated dysphagia and dysphonia without other typical neurological signs have been rarely reported. We describe the case of a 67-year-old man with finaly diagnosed as LMI on MRI. Although cases of LMI presenting in the manner like this case are extremely rare, ENT physicians should consider LMI in diferential diagnosis for this situation, especially when the patient has a previous episode or risk factors of stroke.
