INTRODUCTION: One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a commonly used technique to facilitate surgical visualization during thoracic surgical procedures. Double-lumen endotracheal tubes and one-lumen tracheal tube combined with bronchial blocker might lead to intubation-related laryngeal injury.

PATIENT CONCERNS: In the perioperative period, how to avoid further damage to the vocal cord while achieving OLV during operation is challenging work.

DIAGNOSIS: She was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, and lung tumor.

INTERVENTIONS: We used a combination of a laryngeal mask airway with bronchial blocker to avoid further damage to the vocal cord when achieving OLV.

OUTCOMES: At 1-month follow-up, she had fully recovered without obvious abnormalities.

CONCLUSION: When OLV was required for patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis, a combination of a laryngeal mask airway with bronchial blocker was considered a better choice.
