{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>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.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>In the perioperative period, how to avoid further damage to the vocal cord while achieving OLV during operation is challenging work.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>She was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, and lung tumor.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We used a combination of a laryngeal mask airway with bronchial blocker to avoid further damage to the vocal cord when achieving OLV.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>At 1-month follow-up, she had fully recovered without obvious abnormalities.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>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.
