Since the 1970\u2019s, only a few cases have been reported in the literature.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> <jats:sec id=\"case-presentation\"> <jats:title>CASE PRESENTATION<\/jats:title> <jats:p>We present the case of a male in their early 30\u2019s with a history of left sided spastic hemiparesis and unilateral vocal fold paresis who ingested a sweet potato which resulted in supraglottic burns. The patient denied any prior swallowing difficulties. Conservative therapy with steroids, proton pump inhibitors (PPI\u2019s) and antibiotics were sufficient for full recovery without any lasting sequelae.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> <jats:sec id=\"conclusions\"> <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title> <jats:p>This case demonstrates how careful attention should be paid to food temperature particularly in patients at higher risk of dysphagia. It also demonstrates how prompt diagnosis and implementation of appropriate medications can prevent permanent and debilitating damage.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.51894\/001c.11641","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]],"date-time":"2021-02-15T19:13:11Z","timestamp":1613416391000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Laryngeal Burn from a Sweet Potato: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.51894","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Steven","family":"Pinther","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SCS\/MSUCOM","department":["Otolaryngology"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juliana","family":"Codino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lakeshore Professional Voice Center","department":["Speach and Language Pathology"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Rubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lakeshore Professional Voice Center","department":["Otolaryngology"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"29343","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1266","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2018.10.025","article-title":"Inhalational injury and the larynx: A review","volume":"45","author":"A.
