Ameya Bihani, Jaini Lodha, Arpit Sharma, Jyoti Dabholkar
Abstract: Non recurrent laryngeal nerve is a rare anatomical variation which should be carefully identified during thyroid surgery to prevent post operative morbidity. We present a case of 19 year old female with follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid ; where non recurrent laryngeal nerve was identified on the right side and CT angiography showed an aberrant right sided subclavian artery. Comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and defining every landmark during the surgery to identify the nerve is indispensable.
Keywords: Non recurrent laryngeal nerve, papillary carcinoma thyroid, aberrant right subclavian artery
