Abstract

The present report describes a 61-year-old female patient who developed dysphagia after undergoing the surgical removal of cerebellar meningioma. The patient was unable to swallow because of paralysis involving the right vocal cord. The patient underwent the injection of fat into the paralyzed vocal cord and was fitted with a palatal lift prosthesis followed by rehabilitation. The patient thereafter demonstrated a significant improvement in here swallowing ability and could vocalize words more clearly than before undergoing this surgical procedure.
