抄録

A 39-year-old man with obstructive sleep apnea due to bilateral abductor vocal cord paralysis is presented. He had impaired vocal fold abduction but had no neurological abnormality. During sleep high-pitched snoring and apnea were observed. Despite management of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy (nCPAP) with 14 cmH2O pressure, severe esophageal negative pressure up to -50 cmH2O remained. In order to reduce laryngeal obstruction, he underwent unilateral arytenoidectomy using microdebrider with direct laryngoscope. After arytenoidectomy, his nocturnal breathing improved markedly under nCPAP with 11 cmH2O pressure and negative esophageal pressure was reduced to 20% of that previously. As this case indicates, careful examination of the upper aerodigestive tract is essential in treating obstructive sleep apnea
