Abstract
Our work reports on the management of laryngeal palsy (LP), a lifethreatening complication of thyroid surgery, in our reference center (SHR, Morocco). This retrospective study includes all cases of post-thyroidectomy LP (PTLP) managed in our center during a 3-years period. 8 cases (24 to 65 years), specifically managed related to their clinical presentation and per-operative findings. The final issues were good, although transitory false tracks were reported in some instances. PTLP is a lifethreatening complication that requires prompt management.
