Thyroglossal cysts are clinically known as thyroglossal cysts and are usually diagnosed definitively by history and physical examination, combined with ultrasonography, ct and MRI. The disease is caused by congenital developmental abnormality. During early embryonic thyroid development, the thyroglossal bone degenerates incompletely and does not disappear, and a congenital cyst is left to form in the neck. Most appear before the age of 5 years. Patients tend to consult the doctor for anterior cervical masses. When no infection occurs, there are usually no conscious symptoms. When there is a concurrent infection, symptoms such as sore throat, swelling in the throat, throat discharge, and fever may occur. Cysts are usually located in the midline of the neck, under the hyoid bone. Generally round, smooth surface, no pressure pain, in the swallowing agent stretching tongue cysts move upward is its main feature. Laboratory examination, some of the blood test is elevated suggestive of infection. Clinically, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) scanning, or nuclide scanning imaging is performed to further understand the condition of adjacent thyroid glands and the presence of thyroid tissue. The diagnosis is usually clarified by history and physical examination, combined with ultrasonography, ct and MRI. Currently, surgical resection is the treatment of choice for thyroglossal cysts.The Sistrunk procedure and its modifications are the common surgical procedures used in the clinic; however, the recurrence rate after surgery has been reported to be around 10%.
