| Abstract: | Hydatid cyst disease stills a health problem in Morocco. We describe a rare case of a mediastinal hydatid disease that developed in the left thoracic cavity, and associated with paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. Paralysis of thoracic nerve (phrenic nerve, sympathetic …) to the best of our knowledge, there is only one case report of paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve secondary to compressive effects from mediastinal hydatid cysts. |
