“…Previous reports of EA for TGDC indicated that successful treatment was achieved in 60% of patients. 13,14 These reports enrolled only 5 patients and showed relatively lower success rates than those of our study (80%). Baskin 13 reported that the viscous internal content of the TGDC was difficult to aspirate.…”

“…Hence, they used a large-bore 14-ga needle in case of a mucus-like fluid cyst. Fukumoto et al 14 tried gentle massage by hand to ensure that the ethanol would come into contact with inner surface of the cyst. In our study, 6 cases of TGDC had a viscous internal content; however, we nearly completely aspirated the viscous content by changing the 21-ga needle for a large-bore needle (16-or 14-ga needle) as our team had proposed in a previous study.…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12] While most previous studies focused on thyroid cysts, only a few cases of TGDC have been reported. 13,14 Our thyroid team has applied EA to thyroid cysts and TGDC for several years. The purpose of this study was to assess the technical feasibility and evaluate the efficacy and safety of EA for TGDC.…”

“…Cystography is performed before ethanol injection to confirm that there is no extravasation and that it is a monocystic lesion [18]. However, large series with application of this technique is required to verify its efficacy.…”

Abstrct:Objective: Is to review our cases of Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) attempting to make some conclusions that may facilitate the management of such a cases.Study Design: Twenty patients with the diagnosis of TGDC were managed between July 1996 and April 2007 in the department of Otolaryngology, King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Results: All of our cases underwent radiological assessment before surgical intervention. Eighteen patients underwent Sistrunk procedure. In two patients the treatment was limited to removal of the cyst. In seventeen patients the clinicoradiological diagnosis was in agreement with histopathological diagnosis of TGDC. Conclusions:The diagnosis of TGDC in most of the cases is clinical. Combination of clinical assessment and imaging studies can improve the sensitivity for the diagnosis. Sistrunk's operation presented good results in our series with low rates of complications (5%) and recurrence (5.5%).
