Tapia’s syndrome following otolaryngologic surgery – A case report

ConclusionThere is no anatomical relation between otolaryngologic surgery, the hypoglossal nerve and recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. This Tapia’s syndrome case is possibly caused by nerve compression of the two nerves due to anaesthesia cannula. Ginkgo leaf extract, methylcobalamin and mouse nerve growth factor could be used as an alternative treatment plan in case of steroid contraindications.
