Ref.: Hoarse voice and perforation of the palate in leprosy
From: Barminus A. G.,
Dear Dr Noto,
I present a case of a lepromatous leprosy patient with the complain of hoarse voice. I saw this patient during one of my visits to other hospitals. Examination revealed a perforated palate. The diagnosis of leprosy had been made many years earlier. The destruction started before he presented himself to the hospital.
How common is this type of destruction seen in patients? There is no reconstructive surgery available. Picture and some patient’s data are attached in a Power Point file.
