Overview

Case report reveals hoarseness of voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve block during surgery, highlighting risks.

Key Points

  • Transient hoarseness of voice occurred due to recurrent laryngeal nerve block during carotid endarterectomy.
  • The exact cause of the nerve block remains unclear, though several possible causes were suggested.
  • Ultrasound guidance during cervical plexus block does not eliminate the risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
  • This case emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding potential complications in regional anesthesia.
