Objective: To confirm the association between chronic kidney disease and sensorineural hearing loss in non-dialysis non-diabetic patients and to establish the audiological profile of these patients indicating the possible location of the auditory damage.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Introduction And Objective: Although Zuckerkandl's tubercle is not known by many head and neck surgeons, it is a fundamental surgical anatomical detail, already described in the nineteenth century. Its detection is of great importance as the reference in the search for the recurrent nerve and superior parathyroid gland.
Material And Method: We designed a prospective study to analyse the posterolateral border of thyroid lobes, looking for this tubercle.
