Thyroglossal tract anomalies present most frequently before the second decade of life. Investigations should include ultrasound and thyroid isotope scan to demonstrate the presence of other functioning thyroid tissue prior to excision. Cysts demonstrating echogenic material centrally should be considered to be inflamed and surgical exploration carried out under antibiotic cover to minimize postoperative infection. Total excision of the thyroglossal tract anomaly must include the body of the hyoid bone to prevent recurrence and reduce the risk of further symptoms.
甲状舌管异常最常出现在生命的第二个十年之前。检查应包括超声和甲状腺同位素扫描，以在切除前证明是否存在其他有功能的甲状腺组织。中央显示有回声物质的囊肿应被视为发炎，应在抗生素覆盖下进行手术探查，以尽量减少术后感染。甲状舌管异常的完全切除必须包括舌骨体，以防止复发并降低出现进一步症状的风险。
