Bilateral dysfunction of superior laryngeal nerves as a consequence of cervical necrotising fasciitis

چکیده

Prikaz primera: 71-letna bolnica s cervikalnim nekrozantnim fasciitisom je po operaciji dobila težave z disfagijo. Radiološka in fiberoptična obravnava sta pokazali aspiriranje in hiposenzibiliteto glotisa in supraglotisa. Poleg nezadostnega dviga grla pojasnjujemo disfagijo še s senzoričnim deficitom supraglotisne sluznice, ki mu sledi odsotnost addukcije glasilk med požiranjem. Senzorični deficit smo pripisali toksičnemu nevritisu, ki je povzročil disfunkcijo obeh notranjih vej zgornjih laringealnih živcev. Ozdravitev cervikalnega nekrozantnega fasciitisa in toksičnega nevritisa sta omogočili povrnitev senzorične funkcije in požiranja.

Three variations of the laryngeal nerve in the same patient: a case report

INTRODUCTION A non-recurrent course is a rare anatomic variation of the inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN). Bilateral extra-laryngeal bifurcation of the ILN seldom occurs before its laryngeal entry. Anastomosis between the ILN and cervical sympathetic chain is another rare anatomic feature. The prevalence of extra-laryngeal branching of the non-recurrent nerve is unknown. We present an example of t...
