Abstract

Parathyroid cysts are uncommon entities. Symptomatic parathyroid cysts are extremely rare with approximately only 200 cases reported in the literature. Only ten cases have been reported with recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and none in the radiological literature. We present a case of parathyroid cyst and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis with illustrations of the clinical, radiological and pathological appearances as well as discussion on the management of this condition.
