The purpose was to provide an intravital position study of the clinical anatomy of the middle and superior poles of the thyroid gland (TG). Materials and Methods: We used data on anthropometry obtained during the study and data from MRI of the neck organs and anatomical formations of 100 healthy individuals, comprising 55 (55%) female and 45 (45%) male participants. To evaluate the data obtained in the examined group, the minimum probability value was 0.95 (95% confidence interval or p &lt; 0.05). Results: Maximum flexion of the neck the distance from the center of the jugular notch to the lateral points of the outer edge of the middle parts of the TL decreases in all groups of but mostly in male ectomorphs; the same distance to the superior poles of the TG changes most in ectomorphic males on the right by 38.9% (p value &lt; 0.001) and mesomorphic females on the left by 37.8% (p value &lt; 0.001); in rotation to the left, the maximum was found in male ectomorphs, which decreased by 9.5% on the left (p value &lt; 0.001) and by 7.3% on the right (p value &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: this study provided new information about the intravital anatomy of the TG position, of the superior poles, and the lateral points of the middle part of its lobes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60091520","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]],"date-time":"2024-09-18T09:43:13Z","timestamp":1726652593000},"page":"1520","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intravital Position Study of the Clinical Anatomy of the Middle Lobe and Superior Poles of the Thyroid Gland"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Vladislav V.","family":"Tatarkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Operative and Clinical Surgery with Topographical Anatomy, I.
