Background. Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a well-recognized complication of thyroid surgery. Injury to the superior laryngeal nerve is less documented, perhaps due to the difficulty in recognizing its manifestations. This study was designed to document the incidence of injury to the sup
An incidental finding in the anatomy lab showed up a plexus of the external branch of the right superior laryngeal nerve (SLN), including an anastomosis with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The external branch of the SLN divided in two extensions: The ventral extension reached the mesopharynx l
The mucosa of the larynx contains one of the most dense concentrations of sensory receptors in the human body. This sensitivity is used for reflexes that protect the lungs, and even momentary loss of this function is followed rapidly by life-threatening pneumonia. The internal superior laryngeal ner
