Abstract
|
|
|
|
A non-recurrent laryngeal nerve on the left side is a rare anomaly which is reported in 0.04% and it is associated with abnormal developments of the aortic arch during embryogenesis. Although the possibility is extremely low, it is important to consider the possible existence of a non-recurrent laryngeal nerve to prevent a nerve injury during thyroidectomy. We experienced a 42 year-old male with left thyroid papillary cancer who had right side aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery. Even though we found that this patient had a recurrent laryngeal nerve, we present this case of the right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery variation with a brief review of literature.
