dc.description.abstractThe recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) has many anatomical variations and various relations with adjacent structures. Identification and total exposure of the cervical part of the RLN was performed during operations on the thyroid gland. An extremely rare anatomical variation of the nerve was encountered during the surgical procedure. Coexistence of both right RLN and non-RLN was observed in one patient surgically treated with total thyroidectomy. We first exposed the right RLN with an extralaryngeal terminal bifurcation at its usual position. Thereafter, we also identified an ipsilateral non-RLN joining the anterior branch of the RLN just before laryngeal entry. A Zuckerkandl's tubercle has pointed out the junction of the two nerves. In this period, the incidence of coexistence of non-RLN and RLN was 0.2% in our series. A non-recurrent course is a rare anatomical variation of the inferior laryngeal nerve. The coexistence of both non-RLN and RLN is an extremely rare anatomical finding which should be taken into account during thyroid surgery.en_US
