An anomalous course of the vagus nerve is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. We report the case of a 59-year-old man who had left lung cancer. We performed a left upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy, paying attention to the pathway of the left vagus nerve, which had an anomalous course passing anteriorly to the left pulmonary trunk between the apical and anterior branches. The left recurrent laryngeal nerve hooked around the lower border of the apical branch of the left pulmonary artery.
迷走神经走行异常是一种极其罕见的先天性异常。我们报告一例59岁男性左肺癌患者的病例。我们实施了左上叶切除术和纵隔淋巴结清扫术，术中注意到左迷走神经走行异常，在尖段和前段分支之间经左肺动脉干前方通过。左喉返神经绕过左肺动脉尖段分支的下缘。
