Persistent sore throat, hoarseness, and vocal fatigue following<unk>  procedures are common symptoms of<unk> , and patients may report mild discomfort associated with the sensation of a rough foreign body lodged in the back of the throat. These symptoms often provoke observable clinical signs such as frequent coughing, throat-clearing, and hoarseness accompanied by dysphonia, reduced voice quality and restricted vocal range. Severe<unk> s cause pharyngitis and pain upon pressed phonation, coughing or throat clearing. In some cases, the patient may even experience dyspnea, or shortness of breath due to airway obstruction by the<unk> . However, since<unk> s and other vocal cord polyps may take weeks or months to develop,<unk> s may sometimes be clinically evident only when the aforementioned symptoms persist for, or reappear after a longer period of time post-extubation. Initial symptoms may also be overlooked as they coincide with typical side-effects of<unk> . Case reports of patients diagnosed and treated for<unk> s concur with this observation, as the diagnosis is often made weeks or months after the patient is extubated.
