Abstract
The non-recurrent course of the inferior laryngeal nerve is a rare anomaly. The incidence varies from 0.3 to 4% on the right side. It is extremely rare on the left side. The awareness of such an anomaly is essential as the risk of damage to the nerve is higher during thyroid surgery. Two cases of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve are reported, and the embryology and method of identification are discussed.Entities:
