Abstract
We reviewed the clinical records of eighty patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis who were examined at our outpatient clinic during the past 6 years and 3 months (1986. 1-1992. 3). Eight cases of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis caused by endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia were clinically investigated.The presumed caused of this paralysis were as follows: 1, Aging. 2, Poor general status (anemia, hypoalbuminemia, bleeding and transfusion during surgery). 3, Inadequate head and neck position. 4, Local circulatory disorder due to an overinflated cuff pressure, inadequate intratracheal tube size and position. 5, The influence of abdominal surgery.A very high rate of recovery (87.5%) was observed in patients with laryngeal nerve paralysis.
