Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cysts represent between 65-70% of congenital neck processes. They present as a painless mass at the anterior cervical level in the midline. Description: We present the case of a 52-year-old male with a giant thyroglossal cyst with pharyngolalic voice and sleep apnea. Discussion: Only 15% of cases are diagnosed between the third and the fifth decade of life. The recommended treatment is the exeresis of the lesion using the Sistrunk technique. Conclusion: In the case of large thyroglossal cysts, endotracheal intubation using fiber optic endoscopy and awake patient is advisable to have good control of the airway. |
