The purpose of this study was to determine the value of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct anomalies. The ultrasound and palpation findings in 24 patients with a thyroglossal duct anomaly were reviewed. Cysts, tracts and ectopic thyroid tissue appeared to produce a characteristic ultrasound pattern in most cases. This study includes 5 patients with non-symptomatic lesions which were detected at ultrasound examination. The necessity of performing a radionuclide scan prior to surgery for a thyroglossal duct anomaly is reconsidered in view of the diagnostic power of ultrasound in thyroid disease.
本研究的目的是确定超声检查在诊断甲状舌管异常中的价值。回顾了24例甲状舌管异常患者的超声和触诊结果。在大多数情况下，囊肿、瘘管和异位甲状腺组织似乎会产生特征性的超声图像。本研究包括5例在超声检查时发现的无症状病变患者。鉴于超声在甲状腺疾病中的诊断能力，重新考虑了在甲状舌管异常手术前进行放射性核素扫描的必要性。
