The suspensory ligament of the thyroid gland, or Berry's ligament, is a suspensory ligament that passes from the thyroid gland to the trachea.[1]
The posterior layer of the thyroid capsule is thick. On either side, it forms suspensory ligament for the thyroid gland known as the suspensory ligament of Berry. The ligaments are attached chiefly to the cricoid cartilage, and may extend to the thyroid cartilage.
