Lewis-Sumner syndrome (LSS) is a rare disease characterized by asymmetrical and multifocal mononeuropathy commonly located in the upper limbs. Some rare cases affecting cranial nerve have been described, but LSS is unknown to affect especially laryngeal nerves. This paper presents the first case of unilateral vocal fold paresis caused by an LSS in a 59-year-old man complaining of dysphonia, breathy voice, and vocal fatigue. Epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment will be described.
