Overview

Case report discusses vocal cord palsy due to bronchial anthracofibrosis in a patient with biomass smoke exposure.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the connection between bronchial anthracofibrosis and vocal cord palsy due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
  • Case study of a 69-year-old male with hoarseness and vocal cord palsy after biomass smoke exposure.
  • Utilized otorhinolaryngological evaluation, chest CECT, bronchoscopy, and transbronchial lung biopsy for diagnosis.
  • Monitored clinical outcomes after treatment with oral steroids.
  • The patient was diagnosed with bronchial anthracofibrosis indicating fibrosis and anthracotic pigmentation without malignant cells.
  • Post-treatment, the patient's hoarseness significantly improved, and steroids were ceased after 3 months.
