Left Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Very Unusual Finding during Thyroid Surgery
Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Background. Identifying the inferior laryngeal nerve is one of the main concerns in thyroid surgery. The typical recurrent position occurs due the relative position between the vagus nerve and the larynx during the last 3 branchial arches development. In rare cases, this nerve does not loop under the right subclavian artery or the aortic arch.
