Case report: taste of success in thyroglossal fistulography

Thyroglossal fistulography is poorly documented in the radiological literature. An illustrative case is presented, highlighting the technique employed and the significance of its findings. The taste of contrast medium as it spills over the tongue is a useful additional sign in the successful demonstration of a fistulous communication. The contribution of fistulography to the accurate diagnostic work-up of patients undergoing the Sistrunk procedure is discussed.
