The asymmetry index of the cricoid cartilage and the external angle of the thyroid cartilage. A sex-related study

摘要: The aim of the study was to assess whether transverse diameter is directly proportional, and anterior-posterior inversely angle thyroid cartilage, thus determining degree asymmetry in relation age sex, by comparing specimens larynxes. Analyses were performed on larynxes from cadavers: 50 male female. range varied 40 98 years, with an average 58.68. Macroscopic analysis for presence lesions aid a magnifying glass. A goniometer (Carci®) used obtain aperture two laminas cartilage. internal dimensions cricoid cartilage obtained using digital pachymeter (Starrett® Tolls). index antero-posterior measurements both sex groups. correlation between insignificant males (r=0.027; p=0.426) females (r=0.010; p=0.472). These findings suggest that there no relationship However, significant difference observed sexes diameters Contrary expectations, failed show suggested external
