Introduction:Clinical and imaging evaluations of thyroid gland disorders suggest that its topography seems to be more thoracic, especially in older patients. Objective: To demonstrate this topography variation. Materials and Methods: We performed an anatomical study in 45 cadavers of both genders within 24 hours post-mortem to establish the influence of anthropometric data in this topography variation. Results: The thyroid gland is always positioned above the jugular notch, and we observed no stray node gland. Conclusion: The thyroid gland was always present in cervical position, without stray node glands. There is no influence on anthropometric features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
