摘要

Background

Thyroglossal cysts (TGC) are the most common congenital anomalies of the neck, arising from the persistence of the thyroglossal duct. This study aims to analyze the clinical presentations, surgical interventions, and outcomes in a cohort of 40 patients with thyroglossal cysts.

Methods

This study included 40 patients diagnosed with thyroglossal cysts, comprising 15 paediatric cases (ages 5–12 years) and 25 adult cases (ages 21–45 years). All patients underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation, imaging studies (ultrasound or CT scans), and surgical management using the Modified Sistrunk procedure.

Results

Follow-up (18–24 months) revealed no recurrences or complications.

Conclusion

Thyroglossal cysts exhibit distinct clinical profiles across the age groups. Early diagnosis and definitive surgical intervention via the Modified Sistrunk procedure result in excellent outcomes, with minimal risk of recurrence. Paediatric cases generally present with straightforward symptoms, while adult cases may involve complex clinical scenarios, emphasizing the importance of individualized management. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to refine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
