Abstract
ANATOMICAL KNOWLEDGE of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) is crucial for helping anatomists and surgeons to prevent intraoperative injury and to improve rehabilitation or reinnervation techniques in cases of laryngeal paralysis.1 However, "the anatomy of the SLN continues to be misrepresented, and this ‘error' persists in journals as well as the most recently published textbooks," as Kambic et al2 wrote in 1984. Also, anatomy and physiology are mutually collaborative scientific fields, and progress in either one is potentially helpful for the other.Keywords
