| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to determine the value of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct anomalies. The ultrasound and palpation findings in 24 patients with a thyroglossal duct anomaly were reviewed. Cysts, tracts and ectopic thyroid tissue appeared to produce a characteristic ultrasound pattern in most cases. This study includes 5 patients with non-symptomatic lesions which were detected at ultrasound examination. The necessity of performing a radionuclide scan prior to surgery for a thyroglossal duct anomaly is reconsidered in view of the diagnostic power of ultrasound in thyroid disease. |
