1Klinik für Allgemein-, Viszeral- und Thoraxchirurgie, Klinikum Weiden, BRD.
Aims:
Neurinoma of the recurrent nerve presented a rare diagnosis in thyroid gland surgery.
Methods:
A case report is presented and the result of the neurinoma of the recurrent nerve extirpation--nerve paresis--is discussed with the rare results in literature.
Results:
The preoperative diagnosis is difficult and intraoperative histological diagnosis was not correct. The postoperative paresis of the nerve was clinical only very light.
Conclusion:
The problematical neuromonitoring by isolated nodes in parathyroideal regions and after their exstirpation must lead to the suspicion of a recurrent nerve neurinoma.

Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I)
The olfactory nerve, or cranial nerve I, is unique as it is purely sensory and dedicated to the sense of smell. This nerve originates in the olfactory epithelium of the...

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
