Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Imaging
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are the most frequent congenital cysts in the head and neck.
  • Established imaging features of TDCs are documented, yet practical preoperative considerations are often overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize imaging findings of thyroglossal duct cysts.
  • To emphasize crucial preoperative imaging points for radiologists and trainees encountering these lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of imaging features of thyroglossal duct cysts.
  • Synthesis of practical considerations for preoperative assessment.

Main Results:

  • Comprehensive summary of characteristic imaging findings for TDC diagnosis.

  • Identification of frequently overlooked practical points in preoperative imaging.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate preoperative imaging of thyroglossal duct cysts is essential for surgical planning.
    • Radiologists and trainees benefit from a focused review of key imaging features and practical considerations for infrequent TDC encounters.
