The thyroepiglottic ligament is an intrinsic ligament of the larynx that connects the epiglottis and the thyroid cartilage. [1] It connects the stalk of the epiglottis to the angle formed by the two laminæ of the thyroid cartilage, a short distance below the superior thyroid notch.
They have received a distinctive name, thyroepiglottic muscle, thyreoepiglotticus or thyroepiglottic, and are sometimes described as a separate muscle. A few fibers extend along the wall of the ventricle from the lateral wall of the arytenoid cartilage to the side of the epiglottis and constitute the ventricularis muscle.
The hyoepiglottic ligament is an extrinsic ligament of the larynx connecting the epiglottis and the hyoid bone. [1] Structure

Its middle thicker part is termed the median thyrohyoid ligament. [1] Its lateral thinner portions are pierced by the superior laryngeal vessels and the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. [1] Its anterior surface is in relation with the thyrohyoid muscle, sternohyoid muscle, and omohyoid muscles, and with the body of the hyoid bone.
Posteriorly, it contributes to the formation of the median corniculopharyngeal ligament. [2] The free inferior border forms the vestibular ligament [2] (which together with the overlying mucosa constitutes the vestibular fold). The lower fibres of the quadrangular ligament condense to form the false vocal cords or the vestibular fold, while the ...
