Uberon definition : The superior laryngeal nerve is a branch of the vagus nerve. It arises from the middle
of the ganglion nodosum and in its course receives a branch from the superior cervical
ganglion of the sympathetic. It descends, by the side of the pharynx, behind the internal
carotid artery, and divides into two branches: external laryngeal nerve internal laryngeal
nerve A superior laryngeal nerve palsy changes the pitch of the voice and causes an
inability to make explosive sounds. If no recovery is evident three months after the
palsy initially presents, the damage is most likely to be permanent. A bilateral palsy
presents as a tiring and hoarse voice.;
