Thyroglossal duct and other congenital midline cervical anomalies.

Thyroglossal duct anomalies and dermoid cysts comprise the vast majority of congenital midline cervical masses seen in children. Unusual lesions of the midline neck include ranulae and midline cervical clefts.

Additionally, the current principles of surgical management are described.
