Thyroid cartilage at the suprasternal notch with low situated thyroid gland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
The thyroid cartilage and thyroid gland forming a lump at the suprasternal notch is a surprising congenital anomaly which I believe has not been previously reported.
A case with co-existent low hyoid bone, pharyngo-oesophageal junction and intrathoracic cricoid cartilage with no cervical trachea is presented. Its pathogenesis is suggested and its surgical importance is discussed.
