Thyroglossal Duct Cyst with Intralaryngeal Extension

Results and Conclusions: A TGDC with intralaryngeal extension is a rare cause of dysphagia, hoarseness, and shortness of breath. The literature review shows only 11 previously reported cases. The acute management of this lesion is to manage airway. Our case demonstrates that needle aspiration of the cyst is a good alternative to intubation or tracheostomy. Definitive surgical intervention can be accomplished through a Sistrunk procedure with complete excision of the cyst and tract. Thyroglossal Duct Cyst with Intralaryngeal Extension
