Core Tip	This case report is based on an atypical presentation for a posterior fossa tumour. Initially, the patient was assessed as severe respiratory distress after a background history of asthma, however on further investigation and management – the patient had an upper airway obstruction secondary to a unilateral vocal cord palsy. This was found to be a complication of a cerebellar-pontine tumour. Upon further research, no cases have been presented recently where a patient had unilateral vocal cord palsy subsequent to the tumour. This presentation may be explained secondary to the effacement and displacement of the surrounding structures from the tumour.
