Masahiko Taniguchi, Yasuo Koike, Masakatsu Toda, Hiroyuki Sunami

Abstract

Non-recurrent laryngeal nerve is very rare. The reported incidence of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve is 0.3 to 1.0 percent. We encountered a case of right non-recurrent laryngeal nerve in a patient with parathyroid adenoma. The surgeon must always be aware of the possibility of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve in surgery of the thyroid and the parathyroid.
