ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of vocal cord paralysis in a 55-year-old female with aplastic anemia, attributed to delayed sequelae of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) reactivation.[1] The patient presented with hoarseness of voice and difficulty speaking, and was diagnosed with left vocal cord paralysis. Despite initial treatment with steroids, the patient showed significant improvement only after initiating voice and speech therapy.[2] This case highlights the importance of considering immune-mediated nerve damage in the differential diagnosis of vocal cord paralysis, particularly in immunocompromised patients with a history of VZV infection.[3]
