Background & objectives: Information on the diameters of the cricoid cartilage in northwest Indian children and adults is scanty. As injury to the mucous membrane of the larynx could occur when an endotracheal tube or a laryngoscope, selected on the basis of western data, is introduced into the larynx of patients. It was, therefore, considered necessary to study the diameters of the cartilage.

Methods: Cricoid cartilages were obtained from 100 male and 58 female adults, 25 male and 25 female children and adolescents on whom medico-legal postmortems were done. In ...
