Two patients presenting to the Central Military Hospital of Beirut with symptomatic lingual thyroid are reported. I131 thyroid scanning revealed the lingual thyroid to be the only functional thyroid tissue present in each patient. Subsequent CT scanning demonstrated the large size of these ectopic thyroids causing significant mechanical obstruction. These were excised transorally using a posterior midline tongue-splitting incision and reimplanted in the rectus abdominis muscles. Details of this modified tongue-splitting surgical approach are described. A brief review of the literature concerning lingual thyroid and its surgical treatment is also presented as well as three patients operated on for lingual thyroid at the American University of Beirut Medical Centre between 1975 and 1994 using an external neck incision.
本文报告了两名因有症状性舌甲状腺而就诊于贝鲁特中央军事医院的患者。碘-131甲状腺扫描显示，舌甲状腺是每名患者体内唯一具有功能的甲状腺组织。随后的CT扫描显示，这些异位甲状腺体积较大，造成了明显的机械性梗阻。通过经口采用舌后正中劈开切口将其切除，并重新植入腹直肌。文中描述了这种改良舌劈开手术方法的细节。此外，还简要回顾了有关舌甲状腺及其外科治疗的文献，以及1975年至1994年间在美国贝鲁特美国大学医学中心接受舌甲状腺手术的三名患者，这些患者采用的是颈部外侧切口。
