Case Reports[Recurrent intrathyroid abscess in children. Clinical case and review of the literature].
Recurrent thyroid abscesses in children are an uncommon clinical disorder that use to be due to 3rd or 4th branchial anomalies and pyriform sinus fistula. We are reporting the clinical case ofa 6 year-girl who was diagnosed as left thyroid lobe and istmic abscess of 3 cm, drained by general anesthesia with positive culture for St. ⋯ Four months later she was re-admitted by the same cause and we performed a new drainage, by punction, and endovenous antimicrobial therapy for aerobic and anaerobic pathogens with good evolution. The imaging tests showed no anatomical alterations.
