Abstract

Hepatitis A virus is a leading cause of acute infectious hepatitis worldwide. The infection is characterized by a self-limiting course, and rarely has there been any occurrence of chronic sequelae or extra-hepatic manifestations. We report a case of unilateral vocal cord paralysis in a patient with acute hepatitis A.
