We made a clinical statistical review on 166 patients with recurrent nerve paralysis who encountered between Junuary 1982 and July 1988.<BR>There were 94 men and 72 woman. The paralysis was found unrelated to surgery, (non-surgical paralysis) in 99 cases (59.6%) while post-surgical paralysis was found in 45cases (27.1%). Lung cancer and thyroid cancer were predominant among the cases of nonsurgical paralysis {33 cases (19.9%) and 20 cases (12.1%), respectively}. When these cases of non-surgical paralysis were further divided into men with right-side paralysis and leftside paralysis and women with right-side paralysis, esophageal cancer was the most common among men with right-side paralysis and lung cancer was predominant among men with left-side paralysis, whereas thyroid cancer was the most common among women with rightside paralysis as well as among women with left-side paralysis and lung cancer was more frequently found among women with left-side paralysis. Post-surgical paralysis could be most commonly explained by thyroid cancer and intra-tracheal intubation {13 cases (7.8%) and 12 cases (7.3%), respectively}. The cause of paralysis could not be identified in 31 cases (18.7%) including the cases of idiopathic paralysis. The percentage of unidentification was smaller than the ones so far reported.
