Case description

During total thyroidectomy, I encountered -for the first time in my life- a thyroglossal tract extending from the pyramidal lobe to the hyoid bone. I didn't know if it was to remove the central part of the hyoid bone or not. I called my colleague, who is a maxillofacial and head and neck surgery specialist, to know the right decision. and he advised me to remove the central part of the hyoid bone.
