During sonographic examination of the neck using high-resolution small-parts equipment, the minor neurovascular bundle may be identified in virtually all patients. Postmortem studies in three cadavers demonstrated that this structure is actually the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). Furthermore, findings observed during sonographic examinations of the neck in nine patients with RLN paralysis of unknown origin were reviewed. Compression, displacement, or infiltration of the nerve from thyroid (seven cases) or parathyroid (two cases) nodules were noted, and this allowed the site and cause of the paralysis to be identified.
在使用高分辨率小部件设备对颈部进行超声检查时，几乎所有患者都能识别出较小的神经血管束。对三具尸体进行的尸检研究表明，该结构实际上是喉返神经（RLN）。此外，还回顾了对9例不明原因RLN麻痹患者颈部超声检查期间观察到的结果。发现甲状腺（7例）或甲状旁腺（2例）结节对神经的压迫、移位或浸润，这有助于确定麻痹的部位和原因。
