Abstract:
The appropriate degree of investigation of thyroglossal cysts is uncertain. This retrospective study analyses the pre-operative investigations and correlates this with the post-operative results. The conclusion is that only radio-isotope studies are useful, but there is a limitation regarding the age of the patient and the authors only recommend this in patients over 10 years of age.
