Abstract
Üst boynuz yokluğu, tiroid kıkırdağın konjenital veya edinsel anormalliklerinden biridir. Üst boynuz doğuştan bulunmayabilir veya sonradan disloke olabilir. Üst boynuz yokluğu yanlışlıkla kırık olarak teşhis alabilir. Bu yazıda otopsi sonucu tesbit edilen, tiroid kıkırdağın sol üst boynuzu bulunmayan 70 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur
