Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Thyroid volume measurement is a better reflection of thyroid gland growth than any other linear dimension of the organ Foetal thyroid volume is significantly correlated with gestational age and foetal weightAim To evaluate the foetal thyroid volume in relation to the gestational weeksMaterials and Methods A total of 22 Male 9 Female 13 aborted foetuses were collected from the department of Anatomy ESIC Medical College PGIMSR ChennaiResults We have observed there was significant increase in thyroid volume with the correction factor CF0479 by ellipsoid method in relation to gestational weeks Thyroid volume with correction factor was noted to be more in males as compared to females in all gestational age groups There was a gradual increase in thyroid weight in relation to thyroid volume in all groups of gestational ages in our studyConclusion The present study evaluated the foetal thyroid volume in relation to the gestational age in aborted foetuses and also suggested the volume related changes of the thyroid gland in foetal life and its abnormalitiesKeywords Evaluation Gestation Thyroid Volume
