    Thyroid abscesses are rare in children, often presenting as neck swelling. Early diagnosis and treatment, including cultures and surgery, are crucial for recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Thyroid gland infections are uncommon in children.
    • Acute suppurative thyroiditis and thyroid abscesses are rare pediatric conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric cases of thyroid abscess presented with painful neck swellings.
    • Literature review identified only 21 reported cases in the past 25 years.
    • One case involved an internal fistula from the pyriform sinus, suggesting a fourth branchial arch remnant.

    Findings:

    • Effective management involves diagnostic studies, appropriate cultures (bacterial, fungal, acid-fast), antibiotic therapy, and definitive surgery.
    • Early recognition and intervention are key to successful outcomes.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses like thyroid abscess in pediatric neck masses.
    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive diagnostic workups and multidisciplinary management approaches.
    • Suggests a potential link between branchial arch anomalies and pediatric thyroid infections.
