Surgical procedures are usually the treatment of choice when managing severe neck and thyroid-related pathologies; however, they become complicated by damage to the parathyroid glands, the external branch of superior laryngeal nerves, inferior laryngeal nerves, and hematoma due to vascular injury and the chance of residual thyroid tissue being left in case of cancer and Graves' disease, and the presence of anatomical variations. Therefore, prior knowledge of the incidence of anatomic anomalies would ensure avoidance of such complications. In this study, we describe the presence of a levator glandulae thyroideae that could misguide surgeons during surgical procedures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
