Abstract :Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is one of the most feared situations during thyroidectomy, and may result in different morbidities from mild voice changes to life-threatening respiratory distress. One of the reasons for this complication is that the RLN may have many anatomical variations. Among those, double RLN is an extremely rare anatomical variation with limited number of reported cases in the literature. A complete visualization of RLN should be mandatory during thyroidectomy to assess the anatomical abnormalities. All surgeons should have sufficient knowledge of anatomical variations of RLN, including double RLN. Herein, a rare case of left double RLN in a female patient who underwent thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter was presented.
