dc.description.abstractPurpose: Precise knowledge of the level of the vocal fold as projected on the external thyroid cartilage is of critical importance for the performance of many surgical approaches. This study aims to identify the level of the anterior commissure, as well as the lengths of the vocal muscle and arytenoid cartilage in Turkish population. Materials and Method: Specimens were collected after autopsy from the Council of Forensic Medicine. One hundred human larynges (52 men, 48 women; age range: 25-80 years) were dissected under a stereomicroscope. Projection of the vocal fold was analyzed in relation to the superior thyroid (A) and the inferior border of the thyroid cartilage (B). Then, the larynx was dissected parallel to the level of the vocal fold to measure the length of the vocal muscle (C) and the length of the interarytenoid space (D). Results: The mean value of the a was 9.15 +/- 1.99 mm in male and 9.38 +/- 3.43 mm in female. Mean value of the b was 10.54 +/- 1.73 mm and 8.88 +/- 1.81 mm in male and female, respectively. The mean value of the parameter corresponding the length of vocal muscle which was c was found 15.00 +/- 3.18 mm in male and 12.88 +/- 4.12 mm in female. The mean value of the interarytenoid space d was 8.31 +/- 1.76 mm in male and 8.13 +/- 1.90 mm in female. Comparing between genders, no statistical differences were observed in parameters of a, c, d, a + b, a + b/2 (P > .05). However, the difference with female and male for the parameters of b and c + d was statistically significant (P < .05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that the anterior commissure projects slightly above the midline height for male and at the level to slightly below in female subjects in Turkish population.en_US
