Primary hyperparathyroidism is predominantly caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. Knowledge of normal and ectopic locations of parathyroid glands is crucial to help guide surgeons who plan targeted unilateral parathyroidectomy to reduce surgical time and risk. We describe a female patient with clinical primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent a failed initial parathyroidectomy, with subsequ...

Non-recurrent nerve from the vagus anterio-medially located in the carotid sheath.

Non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN) arising from the vagus nerve is a rare anatomic variation. The vagus descends vertically in the cervical neurovascular bundle, between and posterior to common carotid artery (CCA) and internal jugular vein (IJV). The vagus has also some anatomic variations. We present a case of two coincident anatomic variations both ILN and the vagus nerve. A patien...
