We present the first case of buckled thyroid cartilage identified in a human cadaver. This rare anatomical variant, in patients, often produces dysphonia and is a potential source for diagnostic confusion. In the cadaveric case described, the laryngeal prominence is deviated to the left without deviation of the internal structures of the larynx, such as vocal folds and vocalis muscles. The medical history of the patient is not known. Finally, a review of current literature on the buckled thyroid cartilage is presented. Such a case represents a rare opportunity to visualize this deformity via anatomical dissection.
我们展示了在一具人类尸体中发现的首例甲状腺软骨弯曲病例。这种罕见的解剖变异在患者中常导致发音障碍，并且是诊断混淆的一个潜在来源。在所描述的尸体病例中，喉结向左偏斜，而喉的内部结构如声带和声肌并无偏斜。患者的病史不详。最后，对当前关于甲状腺软骨弯曲的文献进行了综述。这样一个病例提供了一个通过解剖来观察这种畸形的难得机会。
