Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis After COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was noted to cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2019, there have been many trials to develop vaccines against the virus. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine as a type of the vaccine has been developed and commercialized rapidly, but there was not enough time to verify the long-term safety. An 82-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with dyspnea accompanied by stridor three days after the 3rd COVID-19 mRNA vaccination (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech, USA). The patient was diagnosed with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (VFP) by laryngoscope. Respiratory distress was improved after the intubation and tracheostomy in sequence. The brain, chest, and neck imaging tests, serological tests, cardiological analysis, and immunological tests were performed to evaluate the cause of bilateral VFP. However, no definite cause was found except for the precedent vaccination. Because bilateral VFP can lead to a fatal condition, a quick evaluation is necessary in consideration of VFP when dyspnea with stridor occurs after vaccination.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the decannulation rate (DR) and revision surgery rate after surgery for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP).Data sourcesFive databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus) were searched for the period 1908-2020.MethodsThe systematic literature review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were pooled using a random-mixed-effects model. Randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies (case-control, cohort, and case series) were included to assess DR and revision surgery rate after different surgical techniques for treatment of BVFP.ResultsThe search yielded 857 publications, of which 102 with 2802 patients were included. DR after different types of surgery was: arytenoid abduction (DR 0.93, 95%-confidence interval [CI], 0.86-0.97), endolaryngeal arytenoidectomy (DR 0.92, 95%-CI, 0.86-0.96), external arytenoidectomy (DR 0.94; 95%-CI, 0.71-0.99), external arytenoidectomy and lateralisation (DR 0.87; 95%-CI, 0.73-0.94), laterofixation (DR 0.95; 95%-CI, 0.91-0.97), posterior cordectomy (DR 0.97, 95%-CI, 0.94-0.99), posterior cordectomy and arytenoidectomy (DR 0.98, 95%-CI, 0.93-0.99), posterior cordectomy and subtotal arytenoidectomy (DR 0.98, 95%-CI, 0.88-1.00), posterior cordotomy (DR 0.96, 95%-CI, 0.84-0.99), reinnervation (0.69, 95%-CI, 0.12-0.97), subtotal arytenoidectomy (DR 1.00, 95%-CI, 0.00-1.00) and transverse cordotomy (DR 1.0, 95%-CI, 0.00-1.00). No significant difference between subgroups for DR could be found (Q = 15.67, df = 11, p = 0.1540). The between-study heterogeneity was low (τ2 = 2.2627; τ = 1.5042; I2 = 0.0%). Studies were at high risk of bias.ConclusionBLVP is a rare disease and the study quality is insufficient. The existing studies suggest a publication bias and the literature review revealed that there is a lack of prospective controlled studies. There is a lack of standardized measures that takes into account both speech quality and respiratory function and allows adequate comparison of surgical methods.
