Ultrasonography in Healthy Sudanese Population | Author Name : | | MOHAMED YOUSEF | Publisher : | | Bridge Center | Article URL : | | | Abstract : | | This study was carried out to describe the thyroid volume in
Healthy Sudanese’s subjects aged 6-18years by ultrasound and to
correlate this volume with some anthropometric measures.
Methods: Sonographic studies of thyroid volume and
anthropometric measures were recorded in a sample of 400 healthy
subjects 186 boys and 214 girls aged 6–18 years, from four towns
(Khartoum, Gedaref, Port Sudan, and Kassala), Sudan.
Results: The overall mean volume ± SD of the thyroid gland
in all the patients studied was 4.66± 1.23ml; it was higher in boys
(4.73ml) than in girls (4.60ml), The mean volume of the right and left
lobes were 2.30± 0 .61 mL and 2.16± 0 .60 mL, respectively. The mean
of thyroid volume for Khartoum, Gedaref, Port Sudan, and Kassala
population, 5.73± 0. 60ml, 4.45± 1.15, 4.5± 0. 1.32ml, 3.96± 0. 96ml,
respectively. Thyroid volume was found to significantly correlate with
weight and age.
Conclusions: The thyroid volume obtained in this study was
in the lower range of the values reported in previous studies. The
volume of the right lobe of the gland was greater than the left in both
genders. The mean thyroid volume in the males is greater than that in
the females, a local reference of thyroid volume for (Khartoum,
Gedaref, Port Sudan, and Kassala) Sudan was established, and
further studies are required to establish national references thyroid
volume in Sudan. | Keywords : | | Thyroid volume, Ultrasound, Healthy, Sudanese |
