Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve: An Important Clinical Entity
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Thyroid gland related nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve is encountered as an uncommon anatomical exception to its commoner cousin- the recurrent laryngeal nerve. It is crucial that the head and neck surgeon be familiar with it in order to avert postoperative morbidity. We hereby report a case of right sided nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve, an uncommon incidental finding on routine hemithyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease.
