Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic with a variety of symptoms and complications. Impairments of taste and smell caused by COVID-19 are well known as otolaryngological sequelae. However, dysphonia due to bilateral vagal neuropathy has not been well described as a presenting symptom or complication of COVID-19 infection.
