“…12 It has been reported that 7% of the population has TC worldwide. 13 Controversy exists in the literature about demographic distribution of TC at the time of diagnosis. In a metaanalysis, Allard reported 31.5% patients under 10 years of age, 20.4% during their 2 nd decade, 13.5% in their 3 rd decade of life and 34.6% were reported older than 30 years of age.…”

Objective: To present postoperative outcome of surgical removal of thyroglossal cyst (TC) in children; single surgeon’s experience of a decade. Methodology: This is a retrospective study of 10 children admitted at Northern Area Armed Forces Hospital, Hafer Al Batin, Saudi Arabia, with the diagnosis of TC between period of June 2011 to October 2021. All the patients were managed by single surgeon by surgical removal with an average follow up of 5 years. There were six males and six females. The diagnosis was confirmed on clinical examination and supported by ultrasound evaluation of upper neck midline swelling. Surgical excision was done by Sistrunk procedure under general anesthesia. The outcome of surgical treatment of thyroglossal cyst is evaluated post operatively during an average regular follow up of 5 years. Results: All the 10 children were operated by Sistrunk procedure during the period from June 2011 to October 2021 who were admitted with diagnosis of thyroglossal cyst. There were no associated anomalies. All the patients had excellent cosmetic outcome without any problem of wound infection. There is no recurrence of thyroglossal cyst in this series. Conclusion: Sistrunk surgical procedure to treat thyroglossal cyst in children is safe, effective and feasible with good cosmetic results. It avoids recurrence of thyroglossal cyst and morbidity. We recommend Sistrunk operation as gold standard to treat children with TC.

“…The lesion usually appears in the median line of the neck in its upper 1/3 part and rarely occurs at the base of the tongue (around 2.1%) [6,7], the suprasternal notch (approximately 10%) [8], or within the thyroid gland parenchyma [9]. It presents as a smooth, painless, and soft growth occurring in the neck at the thyrohyoid membrane level, with proximity to the adjacent hyoid bone [10].…”

“…The symptoms depend on the location and size of the lesion and may include dyspnea, dysphagia, or speech difficulties [7]. The presence of a lesion based on the base of the tongue can be hazardous due to potential obstruction of the laryngeal and pharyngeal airways..…”

Introduction. Thyroglossal duct cysts are developmental, epithelial lesions localized in the neck's median line. They occur mainly in children and adolescents, however, also in 1/3 of patients older than 20 years of age. Symptoms dependent on the size and location along the path of the thyroglossal duct. Case outline. This article presents a case, with diagnostic imaging and surgical treatment, of a two-year-old girl hospitalized due to dyspnea, caused by a large cyst localized at the base of the tongue during an upper respiratory tract infection. Before surgery, biochemical examinations diagnostic imaging were performed to exclude ectopic thyroid tissue. Surgery was performed applying Sistrunk's procedure, which entailed excising the cyst's tissue at its origin. Conclusion. In patients presenting with thyroglossal duct cysts, upper respiratory tract infections increase the probability of discovering previously existing cysts. A cyst localized around the foramen cecum can cause inspiratory and expiratory dyspnea.
