Abstract
Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital neck mass. They typically present as a painless midline neck mass in a child or young adult, but may also present later in adulthood when the cyst becomes symptomatic. Thyroglossal duct cysts are most commonly located inferior to the hyoid bone in close relation with the thyrohyoid membrane. Very rarely, they may occupy the posterior hyoid space, and present with dysphagia. We present the clinical, pathophysiologic features and the iintraoperative findings of thisrarely described clinical entity in a young lady.
