Abstract

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is especially vulnerable in cases of reirradiation, large-volume irradiation, or stereotactic body radiation therapy. Although RLN injury is rarely reported, it can cause hoarseness, swallowing difficulties, and airway obstruction, often with delayed onset. We aimed to map the course of bilateral RLNs on radiation therapy planning computed tomography scans to assess its feasibility as an organ at risk.

描绘喉返神经为危险器官的图示指南。

喉返神经（RLN）在再照射、大容量照射或SBRT的情况下尤其脆弱。虽然RLN损伤很少报道，但它可以引起声音嘶哑，吞咽困难和气道阻塞，通常有延迟发作。我们的目的是在放射治疗计划计算机断层扫描（RTP CT）上绘制双侧喉返神经的路线，以评估其作为危险器官（OAR）的可行性。
