Abstract
From the beginning of the teflon injection technique for paralyzed vocal cords there has been an obvious interest in its role as a foreign body. There are a number of previous reports after varying periods of time of residence. This case report describes the tissues response of the foreign body reaction very early, 48 hours after the injection of teflon. It is consistent with early inflammatory foreign body reaction.Keywords
