Non-recurrent laryngeal nerve coexisting with ipsilateral recurrent nerve: personal experience and literature review.

Introduction. Non-recurrence and variations in ascending course of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) represent a risk factor for nerve injuries during thyroid surgery. Non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN) coexisting to recurrent nerve branch is a rare anatomyc anomaly. It could be a cause of nerve injuries during thyroidectomy. A systematic intraoperative nerve identification may allow an effectiveness prevention of iatrogenic injuries. Case report. We report one case of a young woman underwent to total thyroidectomy (TT) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) where we found a rare variation of the right inferior laryngeal nerve anatomy. We identified both right laryngeal nerve structures …

Surgical treatment of thymoma: personal experience.

Introduction. Thymomas (THs) are rare epithelial tumors of the thymus gland. In this study we report our personal experience in the management and surgical treatment of THs. Case reports. We report two clinical cases treated with combined therapy (surgery followed by adjuvant therapy). Results. Total transternal thymectomy was performed in both patients. The post-operative course was uneventful. The patients received adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. No relapse has been observed during follow-up. Discussion. THs are usually slowly growing tumors with similar incidence in both sexes. They occur through a wide age range, with a peak in the fifth and sixth decades. Distinctive features r…
