Brainstem pathology in spasmodic dysphonia.
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a primary focal dystonia of unknown pathophysiology, characterized by involuntary spasms in the laryngeal muscles during speech production. We examined two rare cases of postmortem brainstem tissue from SD patients compared to four controls. In the SD patients, small clusters of inflammation were found in the reticular formation surrounding solitary tract, spinal tri...

متن کاملNon-recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a serious complication in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The anatomy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is variable. Non-recurrent nerve is a very rare variation of the inferior laryngeal nerve. Because of the anatomical variations of the nerve, preservation of the nerve is the optimal strategy during surgery. In this case report, we present a non-recu...
متن کاملNon-recurrent laryngeal nerve.
AIMS The paper draws attention to the importance of rare, but important anatomical variety of nervus laryngeus recurrens, s.c. nervus laryngeus non-recurrens, for making thyroidectomy safely. Possible differences in the course of the nerve and the way of preparing the gland for minimizing the peroperation damage are presented. PATIENTS Three cases out of 1,200 operations on thyroid gland (0.2...
