A 24-year-old man presented with bilateral Tapia's syndrome (TS) after a traumatic cervical spine injury, manifested by apraxia of the hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerves. The initial presentation was a profound inability to maintain upper respiratory airway patency due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis, accompanied by impairment of swallowing and loss of speech. The diagnosis was based on clinical grounds and verified by endoscopic laryngoscopy. A C7 corpectomy was performed for stabilizing the cervical spine, while conservative treatment with steroids was reserved for the TS. Over the following six months, there was complete resolution of the symptoms.
