Abstract
Patients with aortic arch malformations may present with recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve abnormalities that require special attention. Herein, we reported a case of thyroid surgery in a patient with a right aortic arch. The left inferior laryngeal nerve was presumed to be the right inferior laryngeal nerve by confirming the location of the aortic arch and subclavian artery, and the presence of the ductus arteriosus on preoperative computed tomography. Continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring is useful for safe surgery in patients with possible inferior laryngeal nerve abnormalities. Laryngoscope, 134:1986-1988, 2024.
