A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroglossal Duct: A thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital anomaly, meaning that you were born with it. Many times, they get infected and have to be drained. If no infection or after infection is treated, we usually recommend having them removed. The procedure to remove it and to reduce the chance of it coming back is called a sistrunk procedure. See your local ENT doctor for all the specifics.
