Abstract
- The ET tube cuff high up in the larynx compresses the RLN branches against the thyroid cartilage and stretches the hypoglossal nerve against the hyoid bone.[[1]] The high-cuff pressure also increases the risk for nerve injury. To the editor, Tapia's syndrome is a rare complication with injury to the hypoglossal (XIIth) and vagus (Xth) nerves resulting in a weak voice, increased predilection for aspiration, and difficulty in swallowing. Antonio Garcias Tapia first named this syndrome in a bullfighter with Xth and XIIth nerve palsy after sustaining carotid artery injury resulting in compromised neural blood supply.
