1、Thyroid AnatomyThyroid Anatomy 13/13Thyroid Anatomy 12/13Most of the anterolateral surface of the neck is covered by the thin platysma muscles, remnants of the panniculus carnosus of mammals (watch a dog shake its coat). This muscle is at the level of the superficial fascia and its underside provide
2、s an excellent plane of dissection exposing the deep fascia of the neck. Because of the inverted V-shaped gap in this layer anteriorly, dissection of flaps in a collar incision should begin laterally.Thyroid Anatomy 11/13The sternocleidomastoid muscles flank the straps and cover the internal jugular
3、s and carotid sheaths. They are enclosed in an encircling girdle of deep cervical fascia called the investing layer. This layer continues posteriorly to enclose the trapezius muscles (see neck clinical folio). The external jugular veins descend across the posterior portions of the sternocleidomastoi
4、ds and anterior jugular veins descend along the straps anteriorly.Thyroid Anatomy 10/13The thyroid is covered by the sternohyoid and sternothyroid (strap) muscles. These are enclosed in an intermediate layer of deep cervical fascia (see Thryoid Anatomy: 1) with the sternohyoids being apposed in the
5、midline and the underlying sternothyroids being slightly more lateral. When mobilizing the straps it is important to stay in the plane deep to both muscles. The omohyoid muscles ascend diagonally across the upper part of the straps and are automatically mobilized with those muscles. Thyroid Anatomy
6、9/13Venous drainage of the thyroid runs with the superior laryngeal arteries above, passes laterally (middle thyroid veins) directly into the internal jugular veins, and drains inferiorly into the brachiocephalic veins. The dominant lymphatic drainage accompanies the vessels within the loose areolar
7、 carotid sheaths. The veins form a plexus on the surface of the gland within the areolar thyroid (visceral) fascia. Remaining external to this capsule provides a relatively bloodless dissection. Entry into the capsule is a bloody mess. Thyroid Anatomy 4/13Two common variants are the presence of a py
8、ramidal lobe extending upward from the isthmus and a thyroid ima artery ascending from below. The pyramidal lobe is a remnant of the track the thyroid followed in embryologic life from the foramen cecum at the base of the tongue, through the site of the future hyoid bone to its final location. Incom
9、plete descent of the thyroid can be mistaken for a tumor. In the face of a high midline neck mass, it is imperative to document thyroid tissue in the normal location by scan before excision. The thyroid ima artery arises from any of the great vessels of the chest and neck. Thyroid Anatomy 2/13The ar
10、terial supply to the thyroid comes principally from the superior and inferior thyroid arteries. The former arise from the external carotid and the latter are usually a branch of the thyrocervical trunk off the subclavian arteries. The inferior thyroid arteries pass behind the common carotids to reac
11、h the lower third of the thyroid gland on each side. Note the positions of the vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves (details in subsequent imagesThyroid Anatomy 3/13The thyroid gland isthmus saddles one or two of the uppermost tracheal rings and usually blocks the site of an optimal tracheostomy. It
12、 is routinely divided in such cases. The lobes of the gland wrap posteriorly to embrace the upper trachea and lower larynx. The posterior face of each lobe lies on the carotid sheath (see also neck anatomy).Thyroid Anatomy 1/13The thyroid gland is enclosed in a thin layer of pretracheal or visceral
13、fascia which also includes the trachea and esophagus. The visceral compartment of the neck is deep to the intermediate fascia surrounding the strap muscles and the investing fascia enclosing the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles (see neck anatomy images). Behind the visceral compartment is t
14、he prevertebral fascia overlying the cervical vertebrae (see brachial plexus anatomy). The space between the esophagus and prevertebral fascia extends down into the mediastinum. The recurrent laryngeal nerve is in the tracheoesophageal groove or anterior to it in the majority of individuals (details
15、 in subsequent images).Thyroid Anatomy 5/13The larynx is innervated by branches of the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). All the muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid (see larynx) are supplied by the recurrent laryngeal nerves. The terminal portion of this nerve passes beneath the inferior phar
16、yngeal constrictor to enter the larynx behind the articulation of the inferior cornu of the thyroid cartilage with the cricoid cartilage. Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury results in paralysis of the vocal cord in a relatively adducted position. Bilateral recurrent nerve injury during total thyroidec
17、tomy may result in acute postoperative airway obstruction. It is important to do pre- and postoperative laryngoscopy to document vocal cord function. The superior laryngeal nerve arises from the nodose ganglion of the vagus just outside the jugular foramen at the base of the skull and passes diagona
18、lly downward close to the sides of the larynx. It sends a sensory branch through the thyrohyoid membrane and continues as a motor branch to the cricothyroid muscle and inferior constrictor. The cricothyroid muscle maintains tension on the vocal cords. Injury to the superior laryngeal nerve results i
19、n loss of timbre, endurance and high range singing capability. Thyroid Anatomy 6/13The recurrent laryngeal nerve on the right arises from the vagus at the level of the subclavian artery, passes beneath the artery and ascends near the trachea-esophageal groove (see below). The left recurrent laryngea
20、l arises at the level of the aortic arch and passes beneath the aorta just distal to the ligamentum arteriosum and also ascends near the left T-E grooveThyroid Anatomy 7/13Rarely, one of the laryngeal nerves is not recurrent but takes a straight course to the larynx from above. This happens when an
21、aortic arch developmental anomaly results in aberrant takeoff of a subclavian artery from the distal arch. The condition is rare and usually involves an aberrant right subclavian artery ( less than 1% of the population) passing posterior to the esophagus. In that case the right nerve is non-recurren
22、t. Compression of the esophagus is called dysphagia lusoria. Very rarely (1 in 2000), there is a right sided aortic arch with a mirror image anomaly resulting in a non-recurrent left nerve. Thyroid Anatomy 8/13The terminal portion of the recurrent nerve lies in the T-E groove about half the time. When not in the groove, it is most often more anterior and may be in the suspensory ligament (of Berry) or even in the gland itself. Most often (80%, Skandalakis) the nerve is posterior to the inferior thyroid artery.
