Remaja Amerika Berusia 15 Tahun Mengalami Kelumpuhan Pita Suara Akibat Infeksi COVID-19
SEAToday.com, Boston - Seorang remaja perempuan asal Boston, Massachusets, Amerika Serikat (AS) mengalami kelumpuhan pada pita suaranya setelah tertular Covid-19. Kasus yang terjadi pada remaja 15 tahun ini menjadi kasus langka pertama dan dipublikasikan di Jurnal Medis Pediatrics, Selasa (19/12).
Dokter melakukan pemeriksaan dengan endoskopi, hasilnya menunjukkan adanya kelumpuhan pita suara bilateral. Hal ini merupakan imobilitas kedua pita suara yang terdapat pada laring atau kotak suara. Mereka menyimpulkan kelumpuhan ini terjadi karena efek hilir dari COVID-19, karena setelah pemeriksaan tidak ditemukan penyebab lain. Para ahli mengatakan bahwa kasus kelumpuhan pita suara bilateral ini merupakan kasus pertama pada anak setelah infeksi COVID-19.
Akibatnya, remaja tersebut memerlukan pembedahan trakeostomi, sebuah pembuatan lubang di tenggorokan di bawah kotak suaranya. Hal ini bertujuan untuk menunjang pernapasannya selama lebih dari setahun.
