Right nonrecurrent laryngeal nerves (NRLNs) are not particularly rare, and they are vulnerable to injury during surgery. This anomaly is associated with a right aberrant subclavian artery. Thus, a right\u2010sided aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery (LSA) suggests a possible left NRLN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report the cases of 4 patients with right\u2010sided aortic arch and aberrant LSA. Preoperative imaging studies revealed those anomalies, but no signs of situs inversus. During the surgeries, only 1 of the 4 cases had a left NRLN. We retrospectively evaluated the patients' imaging studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>An aortic diverticulum was found at the point at which the aberrant LSA originated in the 3 patients with left\u2010RLNs, but not in the patient with the left\u2010NRLN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In right\u2010sided aortic arch + aberrant LSA cases, the absence of an aortic diverticulum suggests a left NRLN. \u00a9 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
