ABSTRACT

The recurrent laryngeal nerve arises from the vagus and winds around the ligamentum arteriosum on the left and the subclavian artery on the right. This descent into the thorax and its looping path is responsible for its nomenclature-the recurrent laryngeal nerve. When there are fourth arch anomalies occur, we encounter the non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN).

Key words: Non recurrent, Laryngeal nerve, Fourth arch, Dysphagia lusoria.
