The nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) is always associated with the aberrant subclavian artery. CT images can detect this vascular anomaly, which predicts an NRILN. The purpose of this study was to report our procedure to identify the NRILN in patients with the aberrant subclavian artery.
