Abstract

Non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve is the rare anatomic feature which is usually detected during operation on the thyroid gland in 0.3–1% cases. Iatrogenic injury could happen due its atypical position. In our article we analyzed literature review, described appearance reasons, relations with vascular malformations and clinical value of non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve. We have described two own cases of the detected non-recurrent laryngeal nerve.
