Twenty-two patients with recurrent nerve paralysis without a cervical cause were studied by CT of the mediastinum. Positive findings were present in 22 cases, including one false-positive case. The CT findings were not apparent on chest X-ray film in five of nine cases with mediastinal lymph node involvement, five of nine mediastinal tumors, and two of three cases of vascular etiology. We suggest that CT of the mediastinum is a good examination to search for the etiology of recurrent nerve paralysis without a known cervical cause.
对22例无颈部病因的复发性神经麻痹患者进行了纵隔CT检查。22例均有阳性发现，其中包括1例假阳性病例。在9例纵隔淋巴结受累病例中的5例、9例纵隔肿瘤中的5例以及3例血管性病因病例中的2例，其CT表现于胸部X线片上并不明显。我们认为，对于无已知颈部病因的复发性神经麻痹患者，纵隔CT是一种寻找病因的良好检查方法。
