Suspension laryngoscopy is a common laryngeal procedure in Endolaryngeal microsurgery (ELMS). Oral mucosa and dental injuries are the known complications of the procedure. Nerve injury however is an infrequent encounter. We report a rare complication of lingual nerve injury which manifested as tongue numbness and altered taste following Endolaryngeal microsurgery procedure. The condition improved completely after few months of conservative management.
Hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cysts are not commonly reported in English literature. Post-resection recurrence of synovial cyst is unusual and therefore recurrence symptoms required repeat MRI or CT scan. We reported a case of hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cyst presented with neurological deficit that recovered initially after surgery but subsequently developed recurrent of symptoms at a higher level due to fibrous tissue.
