Abstract EN
This article presents three cases of cranial nerve palsy following shoulder surgery with general anesthesia in the beach chair position.
All patients underwent preoperative ultrasound-guided interscalene nerve block.
Two cases of postoperative hypoglossal and one case of combined hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsies (Tapia’s syndrome) were identified.
Through this case series, we provide a literature review identifying postoperative cranial nerve palsies in addition to the discussion of possible etiologies.
We suggest that intraoperative patient positioning and/or airway instrumentation is most likely causative.
We conclude that the beach chair position is a risk factor for postoperative hypoglossal nerve palsy and Tapia’s syndrome.
