It is important that forensic pathologists are familiar with variations in the size and shape of the laryngohyoid complex when interpreting injuries and pathology of the head and neck region. Accurate postmortem examination of the laryngohyoid structures may be difficult if anatomical variation in these structures is present. Agenesis of the upper horns of the thyroid cartilage has medicolegal significance because it may be mistaken for a fracture or other trauma-related conditions. We present 3 cases with different forms of agenesis of the superior cornu of the thyroid cartilage, namely, right unilateral, left unilateral, and bilateral agenesis.
法医病理学家在解读头颈部区域的损伤和病理解剖时，熟悉喉舌复合体的大小和形状变化非常重要。如果这些结构存在解剖变异，对喉舌结构进行准确的尸检可能会很困难。甲状软骨上角发育不全具有法医学意义，因为它可能被误诊为骨折或其他与创伤相关的病症。我们报告3例甲状软骨上角发育不全的不同形式，即右侧单侧、左侧单侧和双侧发育不全。
