Abstract

Acquired vocal cord paralysis (VCP) is caused by dysfunction or injury of one or both recurrent laryngeal nerves. Here we report a 41-year-old man with spinocerebellar atrophy, autosomal recessive type 10 (SCAR10) due to an autosomal recessive mutation in the ANO10 gene, with VCP as the presenting symptom. He later developed ataxia and speech disturbance.
