Abstract
The motor fibers to the thyrohyoid muscle are provided by the anterior ramus of C1 via the hypoglossal nerve rather than via the ansa cervicalis. Knowledge of possible variations in the branching patterns of the nerves attached to the hypoglossal nerve is necessary to minimize iatrogenic injury to these structures during surgical procedures. We describe a rare anatomical variant of the nerve branch to the thyrohyoid muscle. To our knowledge, this particular variant has not been previously reported.
