The clinical symptoms dramatically regressed after repair of the encephalocele or meningomyelocele with no requirement for craniovertebral decompressive procedures or shunts in the acute phase. Careful evaluation of neonatal stridor and recognition of vocal cord paralysis are important, as treatment of associated congenital central nervous system anomalies is likely to achieve satisfactory surgical results.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessvocal cord paralysisneonatal stridorneuraxial malformationBilateral vocal cord paralysis in newborns with neuraxial malformations - Two case reportsArticle45105365391624724110.2176/nmc.45.5362-s2.0-27644505564Q1WOS:000232591600012Q4
