The thyroglossal duct is a narrow tubular structure connecting the primordium of the thyroid gland to the tongue in the midline. If the duct does not involute at 8-10th weeks of gestation, secretion for infection or inflammation causes a thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC). TDC accounts for 70% of all congenital neck anomalies. The aim of this paper is to describe MR and CT findings of TDC including 3d MR sequences and a rare branched thyroglossal duct cyst.

Abstract
The thyroglossal duct is a narrow tubular structure connecting the primordium of the thyroid gland to the tongue in the midline. If the duct does not involute at 8-10th weeks of gestation, secretion for infection or inflammation causes a thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC). TDC accounts for 70% of all congenital neck anomalies. The aim of this paper is to describe MR and CT findings of TDC including 3d MR sequences and a rare branched thyroglossal duct cyst.
