Medical Must-See: Electrical accident causes vocal cord palsy
Hoarseness and sore throat can be signs of vocal cord palsy in electrocution cases, say doctors.
A man’s sore throat after he was electrocuted was the first sign he had a unique case of unilateral vocal cord paralysis, according to his treating otolaryngologists.
The previously healthy 35-year-old arrived at an ED in Rishikesh, India, shortly after he was trapped on a metallic bridge struck by a high voltage wire.
