Résumé :

We report the case of a 50-year old women with an oncological history of metastatic breast carcinoma who underwent lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of 60 Gy in 8 fractions for a left upper lobe metastatic lesion. Seven months later, she complains about hoarseness and weakness of voice. Tumoral relapse and other frequent etiologies were excluded. The diagnosis of radiation induced left recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis causing left vocal cord paralysis (VCP) was made. The symptomatology did not improve till the disease progression and death of the patient 29 months after SBRT. VCP after lung SBRT is a rare adverse event that has not yet been well described in the medical literature.
