Iatrogenic lesions of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during thyroidectomies are not infrequent due to the possibility of anatomic variations of the relationships of this nerve with the superior thyroid vessels. Therefore, based on an anatomic analysis of 30 superior thyr

## Abstract ## __Background.__ The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic features of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) in Chinese adults. ## __Methods.__ We analyzed the anatomic distribution of the 86 EBSLNs in 43 cadavers. ## __Results.__ The incidence
The purpose of this study was to determine the length and distribution of the branches of the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (ibSLN) and describe the initial afferent pathway for the laryngeal cough reflex (LCR). On 25 sides of 19 cadaver specimens, the ibSLN and its branches were d
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
