Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Dentistry and Oral Health Care - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The cyst of the thyroglossal duct is a benign congenital malformation, in which the thyroglossal conductor fails to obliterate, before descending towards the thyroid gland. (TDC) is one of the most frequent pathologies found in the midline of the neck. Approximately 7% of the population has thyroglossal remnants, which represents 70% of the head and neck pathologies. We Present a case of a 45-year-old male patient attended consultation with Maxillofacial Surgery referring to difficulty in swallowing and episodes of sleep apnea. Under General anesthesia, and nasotracheal intubation the lesion was removed with no further recurrence or the lesion. The thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is one of the most frequent pathologies found in the midline of the neck. Approximately 7% of the population has thyroglossal remnants, which represents 70% of the head and neck pathologies [1]. It is important to point out that, although the thyroglossal duct cyst occurs mainly in children; It can also occur in adults. Most of these are near the hyoid bone, however, they can be located anywhere on the descending path to the thyroid cartilage [2]. 85% of the cases are below the hyoid bone [3]. The understanding and knowledge of both embryology and the anatomy of the tongue are necessary for successful treatment [4,5].
