Abstract
- Chronic cough is a common troublesome symptom in otolaryngology head and neck surgery practice. In rare cases, chronic cough may be related to anatomical abnormalities. In this article, we report the history of a 64-year-old female with a chronic course due to a curved superior cornu of the thyroid cartilage and related irritation of the laryngeal superior nerve. The cough was atypical and resolved after the surgical resection of the abnormal cornu. There was no recurrence at 9 months post-surgery. The findings of the present case report highlight the need to explore the laryngeal anatomy in patients with chronic cough to identify potential abnormalities, which may be treated surgically.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.
