If the duct does not involute at 8-10th weeks ofgestation, 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 todescribe MR and CT findings of TDC including 3d MR sequences and a rare branchedthyroglossal duct cyst.
