Abstract

An extremely rare case of intravagal parathyroid adenoma is presented. The tumour caused fusiform swelling of the left vagus nerve was shelled out. Post-operatively the left recurrent nerve palsy was recovered in the two months. Serum calcium level returned to normal on the tenth day after the surgical operation without symptoms of hypocalcaemia.
