Nerve Injury and Rehabilitation

Neurinoma of the vocal fold is not common. A 43-year-old female with neurinoma of the left vocal fold was treated by microlaryngeal surgery. Clinical observation using laryngostrobovideography and CT revealed a smooth mass localized in the left vocal fold. The tumor was successfully removed under general anesthesia by microlaryngeal surgery. We applied the fibrin-glue (Tisseel®) on the surgical wound of the vocal fold to avoid post-operative scar. Postoperative wound healing of the vocal fold was excellent in this case. Her phonatory function was satisfactory and no tumor recurrence have been noted after surgery. In this case, the fibrin glue might have good effect on the wound healing of the vocal fold.
