ABSTRACT Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital condition of the neck where the painless swelling is found in the midline of the neck in between the foramen cecum of tongue base and sternal notch. Condition is common in children. Thyroglossal fistula is either secondary to infection or drainage of a misdiagnosed abscess. Here we are presenting a case of thyroglossal fistula with its opening over the chest and a cord extending from the hyoid bone to the chest causing restriction of the neck movement. Thyroglossal fistula opening in the chest, i.e. over the sternum is very rare and not been reported in any literatures. Treatment of this type of thyroglossal fistula is same as other types, i.e. Sistrunk's operation, where tract along with part of the hyoid bone is to be removed to prevent recurrence. We are reporting this case for its rare occurrence. How to cite this article Rout MR, Mohanty D, Bobba K, Meta C, Karri S. Presternal Thyroglossal Fistula: A Rare Case Report.

Ectopic Tissue

Background: The ectopic thyroid tissue in thyroglossal cyst or suprahyoid swelling is one of most important differential to be diagnosed. The purpose of this study was to find out role of Technetium-99m Pertechnetate Thyroid Scintigraphy (TS) to detect functioning thyroid tissue in ectopic locations presenting as midline neck swelling.Methods: A retrospective observational study was done where 26 subjects presenting with midline neck swelling were included. These subjects were injected with 1-5MBq/kg of Technetium-99m Pertechnetate to perform the TS. The uptake of tracer in the midline neck swelling and in other ectopic location was assessed. The comparison with Ultrasound (USG) was also done.Results: 12 (46.15%) subjects presented with infra hyoid swelling and rest 14 (53.85%) presented with supra hyoid and submental swelling. 33.3% subjects presenting with thyroglossal duct cyst showed functioning thyroid tissue. Also 4 subjects showed dual functioning ectopic tissue. USG an TS showed concordant results for detecting thyroid tissue in ectopic location (p=0.68). However, TS performed better to detect ectopically located thyroid tissue (p=0.0086).Conclusions: USG and TS showed similar results to detect thyroid tissue in normal location. However, TS is better to detect topically located thyroid tissue. TS adds information of functioning thyroid tissue during workup of midline neck swelling.

<p class="abstract">Thyroglossal cyst is the most common congenital anterior neck swelling in childhood. Commonly present as painless swelling in the 2nd decade of life but the cases are reported in the elderly age group also. It represents the persistent epithelial tract from the foramen cecum to the thyroid gland. Clinically can be diagnosed and can be differentiated with other mid-line swelling by movement with the protusion of tongue. It is usually related to the hyoid bone and may be supra-hyoid, infra-hyoid, lower part of the midline or rarely lingual in position. Ultrasonography is the investigation of choice for this cystic condition. It is safe, economical and easily available investigation among all the radiological study. MRI is helpful to diagnose cervical extension and lingual cyst. Inspite of close relation to the laryngeal structure it rarely present as laryngeal mass and causes stridor or sleep apnea as in our case. Classic Sistrunk procedure is the treatment of choice for the condition. Endoscopic CO2 Laser is useful in situation where only intraoral cyst present without cervical extension. Marsupialization is reserved for lingual cyst especially in Neonate. We are reporting this case which was present in the elderly and reported with long standing anterior neck swelling with inspiratory stridor on lying down position.</p>
