[Fluorescence Detection System for Intraoperative Identification of the Parathyroid Glands in a Patient with Thyroid Cancer with a Right Non-Recurrent Inferior Laryngeal Nerve].

: Intraoperative identification of the parathyroid gland is very important during thyroid and parathyroid surgery.Recently, intrinsic fluorescence of the parathyroid gland was identified and reported.We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with thyroid papillary cancer.Before surgery, neck and chest CT showed a thyroid tumor(20mm)of the right lobe and an aberrant right subclavian artery.Her thyroid cancer(T1N1M0, Stage Ⅰ)was resected in December 2017(right lobectomy and lymph node dissection).During surgery, her parathyroid glands were visually inspected by the surgeon as well as by a ready-made photodynamic eye(PDE-neo)system.Diagnosis was performed using the intraoperative fast pathological method.Her inferior laryngeal nerve was non-recurrent(Toniato ⅡA).This photodynamic eye(PDE-neo)system is an effective and useful method that decreases the operation time and enables faster detection of the parathyroid gland.
