Extralaryngeal Terminal Division of the Inferior Laryngeal Nerve: Anatomical Classification by a Surgical Point of View
Background. Complete anatomic knowledge including all variations of the inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN) is mandatory for thyroid surgeon. Extralaryngeal terminal division (ETD) of the ILN has significant importance for the safety of thyroidectomy. Material and Methods. Surgical dissection of 200 ILNs was performed on 100 cases. The presence of ETD of the nerve was determined intraoperatively. We...
متن کاملAbnormal distance of the extralaryngeal bifurcation point of the recurrent laryngeal nerve from the cricothyroid joint
The extralaryngeal bifurcation point of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is typically located in a mean distance of 0-2 cm from the cricothyroid joint (CTJ). In the presented case though, the left RLN was unexpectedly identified bifurcating in a mean distance of 7 cm from the left CTJ in a young woman with multinodular goiter during total thyroidectomy. The RLN was carefully exposed througho...
متن کاملMorphology and Functional Anatomy of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve with Extralaryngeal Terminal Bifurcation
Anatomical variations of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), such as an extralaryngeal terminal bifurcation (ETB), threaten the safety of thyroid surgery. Besides the morphology of the nerve branches, intraoperative evaluation of their functional anatomy may be useful to preserve motor activity. We exposed 67 RLNs in 36 patients. The main trunk, bifurcation point, and terminal branches of bifi...
متن کاملSurgical anatomy of the extralaryngeal aspect of the superior laryngeal nerve.
OBJECTIVES To describe the topography of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) and to evaluate the influence of gender, ethnicity, side of the neck, and individual height on the topography of the SLN. DESIGN Anatomical study of human cadavers. SUBJECTS Fifty fresh human cadavers (19 female subjects and 31 male subjects; age range, 22-89 years; mean age, 61 years) were randomly selected for thi...
متن کاملA Rare Variation of Inferior Laryngeal Nerve: Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve.
A nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve variant of the inferior laryngeal nerve is very rarely seen, and surgeons should keep it in mind during thyroid surgery. Preoperative findings, like situs invertus and dysphagia lusoria, may be suggestive of a nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve. However, these findings always have not to be together with nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve, like our case.
