  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Two cases of taste disturbance after laryngomicrosurgery are reported. In each case, the patient complained of hypogeusia after laryngomicrosurgery for polypoid vocal cords. Postoperative electrogustometry revealed threshold increase both in the chorda tympani and glossopharyngeal nerve areas bilaterally in the first case, while only in the glossopharyngeal nerve area in the second case. Taste function returned to normal by the third postoperative month in both cases.

 Pressure exerted by a laryngoscope to the base of tongue was measured, and it was suggested that the reversible damage to the taste buds and the nerve endings is the primary cause of taste disturbance after laryngomicrosurgery.
