A rare non-recurrent laryngeal nerve anomaly, more common on the right, poses surgical risks. Awareness and identification are crucial for preventing nerve damage during thyroid procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Embryology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • The inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN) typically follows a recurrent path.
  • An aberrant, non-recurrent course of the ILN is a rare congenital anomaly.

Observation:

  • Incidence of non-recurrent ILN ranges from 0.3% to 4% on the right side.
  • This anomaly is exceptionally rare on the left side.
  • Two cases of non-recurrent ILN are presented.

Findings:

  • The study discusses the embryological basis for this anatomical variation.
  • Methods for identifying a non-recurrent ILN are detailed.

Implications:

  • Increased risk of accidental nerve injury during thyroid surgery necessitates heightened awareness.
