Embryology: thyroid- parathyroid

4th branchial pouch
• Isthmus thyroidand inferior parathyroid
3rd branchial pouchInferior parathyroid (35% ectopichyoid, carotid, intrathyroid, mediastinal)longer course of 3rd branchial pouch
Embryology• Thyroid descent via thyroglossal duct
from foramen cecum suprahoid midline
infrahyoid off midline to visceral space• thyroglossal duct involutes at 5-6 gest. weeksThyroglossal duct cyst: 25% suprahyoid,
50% level of hyoid, 25% infrahyoid

Thyroid anatomic variation: Zuckerkandl tubercle
Posterior thyroid tubercle “ Zuckerkandl tubercle”• surgical landmark (proximity to recurrent laryngeal nerve)
• extension of thyroid to tracheo-esophageal sulcus in 87%,
• nodular configuration of ZT in 42.1% of patients.
• DD: Parathyroid adenoma
