ABSTRACT

Background: bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVFP) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) are pathologies that generate respiratory limitation. As they are obstructive airway diseases, it is reasonable to consider a possible relationship. Materials and methods: a before and after study was performed, in two university centers in Bogotá, frequencies and measures of central tendency were described. The McNemar BoWker and paired T or Wilcoxon tests were used, considering p ‹0.05 significant. Results: 14 patients were managed with transverse posterior cordectomy. 100 % were female and the mean age of 51.2±10.73 years. The average BMI was 25.42±5.4, 50 % had normal BMI. OSAHS severity was mild 42.9 %, moderate 28.6 % and severe 28.6 % disease classification. The intervention was successful in 64.28 %, there was a 54 % reduction in presurgical Apnea Hypopnea Index compared to the post-surgical one (p = 0.029), 85.6 % reduction in the index of obstructive apneas (p = 0.017), in the index of hypopneas in 52 % (p = 0.028) and sleep latency in 33.3 % (p = 0.025). Other variables showed no significant differences (p ›0.05). Conclusions: the results described show a statistically significant relationship between OSAHS and BVFP. Patients with BVFP benefited from the use of posterior cordectomy as a therapeutic intervention reducing the severity rates of OSAHS and thus improving the quality of life of patients.
