Abstract

Thyroglossal duct cyst usually presents as a painless swelling in the mid-line of the neck. This is the first documented case of an acute presentation of hoarseness and multi-loculated swelling. It also contrasts the limitations of ultrasonography with the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in such atypical swellings.
