“…Sonognaphy has proved useful in imaging neck masses [1][2][3][4], but its use in children has not been extensively reported The most common midline lesion of the neck in a child is a thyroglossal remnant [5]. Thynoglossal duct cysts, which present as midline on slightly lateral to midline cystic masses, have a characteristic sonographic appearance.…”

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to describe the sonographic features of thyroglossal duct cysts, emphasizing the variable sonographic appearances, and determine if the presence of infection or inflammation influences the sonographic appearance. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We reviewed the sonograms in 12 children (2 months-16 years old) with pathologically proven thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs). The cysts were evaluated for location, size, cystic versus solid features, echogenicfty, and wall thickness. The sonographic features then were compared with the pathologic findings.RESULTS. Sonograms of the 12 lesions showed that nine were midline at or near hyold bone; two were to the right of midline in the submandibular region; and one was located to the left of midline in the neck. Cysts were from 0.5 cm to 4 cm in diameter. Five lesions were anechoic with no perceptible wall thickness. Seven lesions were hypoechoic.Two of the seven were homogeneously hypoechoic with thin borders. The remaining five lesions were hypoechoic but heterogeneous (complex). One lesion was hypoechoic with small anechoic spaces. Four lesions were largely cystic with dense internal echoes and thick walls. The presence of thick walls and internal echoes did not correlate with the presence or absence of inflammation on pathologic examination.No lesions in our series were hyperechoic. CONCLUSION.Our results indicate that TDCs have a variable sonographic appearance.Anechoic, homogeneously hypoechoic, and heterogeneous (complex) lesions occur. We found no correlation between the pathologic findings of infection and inflammation and the sonographic appearance of TDCs. Awareness of the variable sonographic appearance of the TDC is helpful when a midline lesion is encountered in the neck.

Background: Thyroglossal duct cyst a developmental anomaly present as a congenital cervical masses of neck in children.Objectives: To observe its deferent presentation and evaluate among the children. Results: Among 24 children with thyroglossal cyst, 15 boys and 9 girls with male female ratio 1.67:1, age ranged from 4 years to 18 years (mean 9.46 std ±4.27). Male (mean7.53±4.01years) child are younger than female (mean12.67±2.39 years) child. 66.67% male children were below 10 years of age and 88.89% female children were over 10 years of age. According to the presentation site 17(70.83%) cases were juxtra hyoid, 4(16.67%) were suprahyoid and 3 (12.50%) were infrahyoid. 23 (95.83%) were present as midline swelling, only 1(4.17%) was present as left lateral infrahyoid swelling. 4(16.67%) patient were attended as thyroglossal fistulae with
