摘要
The most common cause of vocal cord paralysis (VCP) as a result of recurrent laryngeal nerve compression is malignant tumors. A benign and inflammatory causes of VCP is rarely reported in the literature, and in almost all reported cases it was a unilateral paralysis. We report a rare case of tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenopathy causing bilateral VCP in a young female patient.
