title: [Unilateral laryngeal paresis as an early symptom of recurrent nerve compression caused by tumor or trauma].
abstract: Out of 19 patients with unilateral laryngeal paresis, 8 patients developed the paresis early after strumectomy, 4 had lung tumors, 2 tumors of the esophagus, 2 stab cervical wounds, 2 aortal arch dilatation, 1 patient had retrosternal goiter. Peripheral paralysis of the recurrent nerve is caused most frequently by the nerve compression in the thoracic cavity. The disease may be diagnosed accurately by ascertaining the causes underlying the nerve compression in the thoracic cavity using x-ray, ultrasound and computed tomography. Early diagnosis of mediastinal and pulmonary tumors enable conservative surgery with good functional results.
