Brief Summary
We performed a retrospective observational-analytic study. Anatomical measurements were performed on 118 participants during an ultrasound exam, and demographic data was collected from their medical files. The data was stratified according to age, sex, patient's body mass index (BMI), and height.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
anatomical relations between the second neck skin crease and the thyroid gland isthmus and cricoid cartilage
Several neck creases can be observed in normal adults. The first upper crease runs horizontally roughly along the thyroid notch and hyoid bone. A second lower neck crease runs parallel to it approximately at the height of the cricoid; the measurements, in centimeters, in our study relate to this crease.
June 1st 2016 until August 31 2018
Interventions
Anatomical measurements were performed on participants during an ultrasound exam
Eligibility Criteria
The data was collected during ultrasound exams of subjects who underwent assessment of the thyroid gland.
You may qualify if:
- Subjects who underwent assessment of the thyroid gland
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who had any neck surgical procedure prior to the test, patients with abnormalities in the anterior neck, and patients without clear second crease were excluded.
