Summary:The successful operation of thyroglossal fistula depends upon a total resection of the epithelial layer without leaving even a minimal residue of the tissue. A contrast X-ray study of the fistulous tract is of prime importance to attain the above objective. The authors used a plastic cannula for intravenous infusion to inject a contrast medium into the thyroglossal duct and found it very useful in a 19-year-old male with median cervical cyst. The method of this procedure and the surgical techniques are discussed.
