title: [Systematization and histomorphometry of human laryngeal nerves].
abstract: Laryngeal nerves were dissected from 100 fresh subjects in order to compare right and left superior and inferior laryngeal nerves. The origin and the distribution of the vascularization was studied. The structure of these nerves was precised through an histomorphometric approach (distribution number of myelinated fibers per mm2, diameter of myelinated fibers). A cartographic study of the laryngeal nerves confirmed the structure of this innervation. The main conclusion of this study is the importance of the plexis structure of the laryngeal innervation and the variations of the nerve fibers diameter as a function of the length of the fiber.
