The paralytic lesion was unilateral in 130 patients (right in 49 and left in 81) and bilateral in 11 patients. The causes of paralysis were mostly in idiopathic, postoperative paralysis and paralysis due to intubation for anesthesia. The paralysis due to thyroid tumor was recognized frequently. The recovery rate was high in idiopathic paralysis.
