Abstract

The non-recurring lower laryngeal nerve is an extremely rare anatomical variation. It occurs only on the right (except in the case of situs inversus). Knowledge of this anatomical variation is essential for identifying and preserving the nerve during thyroid surgery. We present the case of a patient with a non-recurring lower laryngeal nerve discovered during a total thyroidectomy.

We present the case of a patient with a non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve discovered during a total thyroidectomy.

Keywords: Inferior laryngeal nerve, non recurrent, thyroidectomy
