Serum thyrotrophin (TSH) was estimated by double-antibody radioimmunoassay in 200 children aged 2 months to 16 years with normal thyroid function. There was no apparent variation in TSH with age or sex and only 4 children had TSH levels greater than 5 muU/ml. High TSH values were obtained in 9 children with primary hypothyroidism, in 3 children with thyroiditis, and in one girl with a lingual t...

Introduction- Thyroid gland is a highly vascular endocrine gland. The aim of our study to explore thyroid arteries escape eventual iatrogenic complications.
 Materials and Methods- Both sides neck total 60 adult embalmed cadavers were dissected in West Bengal (2020-2021).
 Results- We found Superior Arteries 100% cases originating from External Carotid Artery 77.5% cases, Bifurcation ...

To identify the anatomical variations of main branches external carotid artery (lingual, facial, occipital, ascending pharyngeal and sternocleidomastoid), giving information about calibers origins with aim creating a new classification useful in clinical practice. 193 human embalmed body-donors were dissected. The data collected analyzed using Chi² test. results previous studies reviewed. major...

Ectopic thyroid gland may be detected at any place between foramen caecaum and normal thyroid localization due to inadequacy of the embryological migration of the thyroid gland. It has a prevalence varying between 1/10.000 and 1/100000 in the community. Usually follow-up without treatment is preferred except for obstructive symptoms, bleeding, and suspicion of malignity. Main symptoms are dysph...
