Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Vocal fold injection augmentation is performed routinely for the treatment of glottic insufficiency especially due to unilateral vocal fold paralysis. There are numerous materials that are used for injection laryngoplasty, calcium hydroxylapatite being one of them. CASE REPORT: DISCUSSION: This is the first report in the literature of neck abscess following vocal fold injection laryngoplasty using calcium hydroxylapatite. It seems that over injection of the vocal fold gave rise to extravasation of the injected material outside the laryngeal framework which later became a nidus for infection. CONCLUSIONS:
