While NGTS has been reported in patients requiring enteral feeding due to conditions such as stroke or impaired consciousness, no cases during the treatment of catatonia have been documented. NGTS remains underrecognized despite common nasogastric use in catatonia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient was a 66\u2010year\u2010old woman with probable dementia with Lewy bodies who presented with catatonia characterized by psychomotor retardation. Due to impaired oral intake, a nasogastric tube was inserted for nutritional support. On the 38th day after the tube was inserted, she gradually developed stridor and worsening respiratory distress, followed by paradoxical breathing. Laryngoscopy revealed bilateral abductor vocal fold paralysis accompanied by marked arytenoid edema, and an emergency tracheostomy was performed. CT imaging confirmed arytenoid edema, while brain and cervical imaging revealed no evidence of central or peripheral lesions affecting the vagus or recurrent laryngeal nerves. Based on the clinical course and findings, a diagnosis of NGTS was made. Following removal of the nasogastric tube, vocal fold mobility gradually returned to normal. Her catatonic symptoms improved significantly after a course of electroconvulsive therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the potential severity of NGTS in psychiatric settings. In patients with catatonia, who are often unable to communicate their symptoms, careful clinical monitoring is essential. When upper airway symptoms such as stridor or hoarseness arise during nasogastric feeding, NGTS should be considered as a possible cause. A multidisciplinary approach\u2014including prompt consultation with otolaryngology\u2014is crucial to prevent serious complications.<\/jats:p>\n
