Abstract: Formalin fixed 15 (male-6, female-9) aborted fetuses from 16weeks -36 weeks of gestational age were dissected to study the morphology of fetal thyroid glands. Crown -Rump length, Crown - Heel length and weight of the fetus along with fetal thyroid morphological and morphometric parameters were recorded. We observed the broader right lobes, broader left lobes of the thyroid glands, pyramidal lobe, levator glandulae thyroidae and isthmus agenesis which may consider under multiple morphological anomalies of the thyroid gland. Female fetuses (n = 5) are showing the broader right lobes and male fetuses (n = 3) are showing broader left lobes. The morphological parameters of the both broader right and left lobes of the thyroid glands of the fetuses were recorded. This study highlights various developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland, thereby forming a corner stone to safe and effective surgery.
Keywords: :-Agenesis of isthmus, pyramidal lobe, variation lobes. |
