Lingual thyroglossal duct cysts are a rare form of thyroglossal cysts. We present two infants, 10 and 12 weeks of age, with midline intraoral cystic swellings stretching from the base of the tongue to the thyroid cartilage. Complete excision of the cysts by Sistrunk's procedure were carried out. Both infants are well on follow-up, at 6 months postoperatively. Their unique presentation with regard to age, location, and symptomatology is discussed. Lingual thyroglossal duct cysts large enough to cause dysphagia, stridor, respiratory distress, and failure to thrive in infants have not been previously reported in the literature.
舌甲状腺舌管囊肿是甲状腺舌管囊肿的一种罕见形式。我们报告了两名分别为10周和12周大的婴儿，他们的口腔中线出现囊性肿物，从舌根延伸至甲状软骨。通过Sistrunk手术对囊肿进行了完整切除。两名婴儿术后6个月的随访情况良好。本文讨论了其在年龄、位置和症状方面的独特表现。此前文献中尚未报道过婴儿期舌甲状腺舌管囊肿大到足以引起吞咽困难、喘鸣、呼吸窘迫和发育不良的情况。
