AB  - Nuclear medicine scintigraphy, in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, plays a vital role in assessing patients with congenital migrational anomalies. We present 5 patients, 4 of whom were hypothyroid and 1 patient who was euthyroid. Scintigraphic and ultrasonographic images were examined and correlated with laboratory results. These patients demonstrate the spectrum of migrational anomalies of the thyroid. Nuclear medicine scintigraphy was a valuable aid in establishing the location of the ectopic thyroid as well as its function.
