What causes persistent voice hoarseness after removal of acoustic neuroma?
Patient: I had an acoustic neuroma removed Feb 2015. in the last 2-months I have constant hoarseness in my voice. I also have had increased difficulty with swallowing and have omitted certain foods. About the same time i started having hoarseness, i was having problems with vomiting. My PCP Rx Bentyl and it has helped.I return to Mayo in Rochester in a couple of weeks. Any suggestions Doctor: Hi, I understand your concern.Hoarseness in your voice could be due to an acute irritation of the larynx and trachea and vocal cords. It could be due to acute viral infection, or irritation of acidic liquid of stomach when you had the episodes of vomiting. It is better to get checked by ENT specialist to determine the right diagnosis. Keep good oral and throat hygiene. Gargle with warm water and salt. Take antihistamine orally until you see ENT specialist. Wish fast recovery.
