In some children, the thyroid gland track doesn’t close in utero. In these cases, a thyroglossal duct cyst may form. A thyroglossal cyst can be uncomfortable and infection-prone, making removal necessary. This video demonstrates thyroglossal duct removal, as well as recovery and what to expect.

My 9year old little girl hard a node under his ears it's swallow and very painful.how will I cure it.
I was 55 years old when I noticed my neck in a photograph much larger compared to earlier photos. I had a thyroglossal duct cyst slowly growing since childhood; never giving me pain or difficulty swallowing. A neck specialist explained how common this is and how simple it is to remove. I had the out-patient surgery. No pain or sore throat afterward. Just stitches that dissolved and a simple Band-Aid. I was up and about the very next day. My incision recovered quickly - remembering it was only a week or 10 days. I have no noticeable scar, even 11 years later. And now I have a normal-size neck. Hope this helps anyone who is facing surgery.
Cynthia Key mine is getting big and it's hurting my neck but I'm so scared to go. Did you have drains put in? Thank you.
I have one that's the size of a marble. I'm terrified of the procedure the scar it could leave and the pain afterwards. Did you feel any pain?
Genesis Navarro this is what I am going through and I'm so scared. Mine is causing me so much pain.
I’m worried I keep getting a feeling of a lump or blockage in my throat and I think it blocks my windpipe as I have apparently started to snore.
But the weird thing is I can go weeks with the feeling gone, then out of no where it comes back.
I actually notice I got it one time after eating an apple?
I was just wondering if any you guys experienced this and if all is well now?
My husband found this during surgery for what they thought was possible thyroid cancer. Yes it can become cancerous, so do take care of it and have it removed! It ended up that it had grown into cancer and they had to remove part of his thyroid (isthmus area), just to be on the safe side, to stop it from spreading. We are now watching it for 5 years before he gets to claim himself cancer free. Please do not ignore this. It is crucial to have it removed to prevent cancer. He will have to take thyroid meds to ensure it does not grow into his thyroid, even though he has 97% of his thyroid. It was considered thyroid cancer even though it was basically cancerous thyroglossal duct cyst. The doctors did not know how to handle the post surgery protocol because most people have this removed in early life and before it becomes cancer. The lesson to learn, once again i iterate, is get it out.
One of the simplest/clearest medical vids I have ever seen. Graphics are easy to understand. Bravo.
I had the same surgery 25 days back and i feel no pain before and after...And doctors also put drain pipe for 1 day after surgery...now it is healing fastly😇✌🏻
I thought I had cancer and I went to the doctor he said I had this and I was so relived I have surgery in 2 weeks
I had surgery on one when i was 9. Week long stay . 15 years later another surgery to remove scar tissue. I was surprised and happy to see this. Thank you.
I had mine removed 10 years ago. My scar unfortunately formed a keloid from the tip of my neck to bottom of it. Be careful with your post up surgery and I’m glad I am not alone.
Amazing explanation and animation, thank you
Just started to feel the lump on my neck. I'm so anxious about my doctor's appointment
So do you get ur check up done what doctor saying
I had this when I was around 11 or 12. I remember it hurting alot at times, had started to look like a big pimple and was starting to drain. I had my surgery on the 4th of July that year. I didn't have any problems after wards, however, swallowing was a bit difficult right after surgery. It got better with a few days of healing. It's been 44 years since I had it done!
God bless you ❤️
Just had mine yesterday. I had a big one, after removal felt a stinging pain in my throat everytime i swallowed. But getting better overtime. Will give after sugery updates on here
Day 3 this morning. Still pain swallowing, have to eat very slowly. Flem keeps coming in my throat
How bout now?
OK Day 4 (Forgot to update on here) experience coughing some, still some pain swallowing, not biting though. More flem/mucus in throat I need to cough up
Day 5, more coughing this time biting coughs, woke up in the morning with biting coughs, boy did it hurt! Took some dayquil, voice is starting to change, but swallowing is becoming better. More flem/mucus in throat I need to cough up
Day 6, Voice changed, almost as if I'm losing my voice, acknowledge that inside throat is feeling a bit swollen, though I assume this is all part of the healing process though. Coughing persists. Still cough up flem and mucus. Swallowing is becoming alot better
Day 7, Completely lost my voice early this morning speaking with a whisper. Scary! Coughing last night with flem and mucus. Took dayquil again to turn down the coughs.
Day 8, Voice was going in and out, sometimes with whisper sometimes deep raspy voice. Voice has not returned Still coughing at night with flem. Took some Dayquil
Day 9, same as Day 8 except less coughing, voice doing the same as well
Day 10, Less couging with flem and mucus, still couging though. Voice no longer whisper, but still deep raspy voice. Voice has not fully returned yet.
Day 11, voice is gradually coming back. went to the doctor for scheduled appointment. Removed stiches and told me to apply moisturizer and expose the area to as much sun light as possible. Said swallowing would gradually heal (and I can feel it healing) said losing voice could of been because of me going out and instead of staying inside.
Right now voice is getting much better and better as days go by. I would provide a final summary after all this. Coughing up flem lessen each day but still happens. Overall getting better each day! Summary to follow.
Wow such a great video, thank you so much. My brother has thyroglossual cyst.
आपने ऑपरेशन करा लिया ।
I had a cyst when I was a child, but surgery was suggested to be performed when I got older. The doctors told me the surgery would be from ear to ear, it scared me SO much that I never went back for check ups.
Now older, 21, I don’t see any growth but I feel pain. Going to a ultra sound check up soon to see if it’s a cyst. I’m so scared if they don’t happen to find anything! Now that I’m older, I’m more afraid if I have to live with the pain..
Have removed my tonsils, don’t know if that’s relevant. Actually stopped the fluid build up, but now I’m scared that I just feel pain :(
Latest?
I discovered a thyroglossal duct cyst at the age of 26 as a result from having the flu. I am roughly 4 months post-surgery. Ask me anything.
I'll preface by saying that I can only speak for my experience, yours may be different:
I didn't have much pain or complications. It did not affect my voice. I could sometimes feel the hyoid bone ends get caught on something when I swallowed, this was shortly after surgery while I was still swollen and recovering. I do not feel it anymore. Directly after the surgery I felt completely fine, didn't need any painkillers. The day after though, there was quite a bit of swelling and my neck muscles felt very constrained, gave me a bit of a fright but I combatted it with an ice pack to get the swelling down. Had a pretty hefty double chin for about 3 days or so.
Sometime after the swelling went down, I noticed the entire surgical cavity (where they had lifted skin and muscle tissue as they worked) was firm and felt like it was filled with fluid. Went and got it checked out, it was cyst fluid, they had missed some of the duct and so the remnant was creating the fluid (This was discovered during a new ultrasound examination). My body has absorbed most of the fluid by now and that's my current situation. Waiting to see what happens next.
It has healed nicely, I had internal stitching. The scar sometimes starts to itch ALOT and swells a bit, but I just moisturize it and try my hardest to avoid touching it. It goes away fairly quickly, maybe half an hour or so. It is not tender or painful to touch.
IMVUXufi did the doctor said to u it can be cancerous?
@@jayjaymiranda2680 No. :)
@@IMVUXufi Yesterday I just found little lump hurting infront of my neck, This happened just one day after the stomach exercise, i had pressured on my neck too much during exercise then next day I found little lump hurting Infront of my neck, is this the duct cyst? Now it's upsetting me😩😩
Im reading this.. And gladly that i found your comment.. Its somehow relieve me..and u answer all the questions that I tried to ask. Thank you.
@@sopnilk.3287 Update it bro???? How are you????
I had mine removed when I was 7 so I agree with just about everything mentioned
Do you have thyroid issues now later on after
I had mine removed when i was 7 too
Still have the scar that ended up in the crook of my neck because the doctors made the incision so that it would fall there when i was older. Surgeons truly are amazing.
Well explain
Can these be confused with lymph nodes?
I'm 33 and I'm watching this ...kinda nervous to get this done
It will be ok,I had it done.
Had this done thirty years ago. I’m almost sixty now. First doctor just cut the cyst off and it drained continually for years (roughly ten years). Then I was referred to ENT surgeon who did the proper surgery. It doesn’t effect your voice. It has nothing to do with your vocal cords or voice box. They removed a bone and my Adam’s apple.
Hi. I have done the surgery yesterday but still my neck is large. Can you pls tell me why is that.
My daughter had 2 surgery for removing this, but it came back again. 😔. The first time (she was 1Y) doctors said they didn’t know exactly what it was, so they didn’t remove it completely. I thought it was over with the second surgery one year after, but no. I have to see the doctor next week. She’s 3 years now. I don’t know what to expect.
Now every thing is good
What happens to the middle gap of hyoid bone where a piece was cut out with a cyst?
They will keep an artificial organic bone
Nothing. You don't need that bone.. It just stays there in two pieces
I’m only twelve and I am honestly so scared to get it removed I’ve never had surgery and just the thought of it scares me
Hi, when i was seven years old (21 now) i had to have a cyst removed from my neck that was directly at the front and quite large. I had to go through surgery and trust me i am TERRIFIED of pain and hospitals but i remember nothing about the ordeal! You will be absolutely fine i guarantee.
Dont be afraid me, I got it of since 4
Are you still alive? Please reply
My daughter has it she will be 2years by April should I go for surgery now or allow her to grow to like 4-5years before removing
I have got this when I was like 4 - 5 years now I am 13 years old but the doctors have prescribed me medicine instead of operation because I am kinda skinny.
My mother said I need to watch this cuz I have one at the midle of my throut but its already gone and my mom took a pick of and its only a stich not some thing else and every one or somtimes ask me why do I have that and I say its A cyst ,and after and befor that they stook a stick or a funnel or some docter stuff at my nose and it really hurts I cry,scream,and fight the docter and this a real story ,and it is not fake😡😡
