Abstract
Vocal polyps are benign laryngeal lesions which arise from the Reinke’s space. Hoarseness is the most common presentation but airway compromised might occur in the presence of big polyps. We hereby report a case of big bilateral vocal polyps in which a tracheostomy under local anesthesia was required prior to endomicrolaryngeal surgery.
