“…Right sided vocal cord paralysis is reported at a much lower rate than left sided paralysis due to the longer path that the left recurrent nerve takes from the brain stem to the larynx, which provides more opportunity for compression by masses or lymphadenopathy, traction, or surgical injuries. 2,21 In conclusion, we present a rare case of right recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis due to lymphadenopathy from histoplasmosis infection. The presentation of right vocal cord paralysis in this case was extremely unusual and is not often included in the differential diagnosis of vocal cord paralysis.…”

Objectives: Histoplasma capsulatum is a prevalent dimorphic fungus, reaching an exposure rate of 90% in endemic areas such as the Midwest and Central United States. We report an unusual presentation of dysphonia due to right vocal cord paralysis caused by mediastinal lymphadenopathy from histoplasmosis. Methods: A 73-year-old male presented to an otolaryngology clinic with 4 months of hoarseness. Flexible strobolaryngoscopy demonstrated right vocal cord paralysis in lateral position and a full length glottic gap. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed enlargement of a right paratracheal node. Results: A lymph node biopsy was obtained and showed histoplasmosis. He was treated with a 3-month course of pozaconazole. He then received a vocal cord medialization injection 2 months after symptom onset, which produced favorable improvement of his symptoms at 8-month follow up. Conclusions: One other case report in the literature has reported left vocal cord paralysis related to histoplasmosis. This first case of right vocal cord paralysis was extremely unusual and is not often included in the differential diagnosis of vocal cord paralysis.

“…An increased interest in further studying of structural organization of the anterior cervical area and mediastinum in health and pathology is determined by the growth in congenital and acquired diseases of these organs and structures [13,14]. Despite the high practical value, known scientific data on morphology of the larynx, thyroid and parathyroid glands, oesophagus, trachea, bronchi and adjacent structures in human fetuses of different age periods [15] do not solve all of the current problems of perinatal medicine and fetal surgery.…”

The study of age and individual anatomical variability of vagus nerves and their branches in different age periods of human ontogenesis causes interest among both morphologists and doctors of different specialties. The aim of the study. To find out the topography of the cervical and thoracic divisions of the vagus nerves in human fetuses aged from 4 th to 10 th gestational months. Materials and methods. The research was conducted on 75 preparations of human fetuses ranging from 81.0 to 375.0 mm in parietal-coccygeal length (PCL) using methods of macro-microscopic dissection and morphometry. Results. In human fetuses, the left vagus nerve is placed anteriorly to the left subclavian artery, then on the lateral surface of the Botallo's arterial duct and the aortic arch. In the neck region, the superior cardiac branch departs from the left vagus nerve and goes to the anterior surface of the left common carotid artery.
