Congenital pyriform sinus fistula.......which basically means he has an opening like a tube (fistula) from his throat (pyriform sinus) to his thyroid, left there from birth (congenital), that enabled a bacteria to travel down that tube and infect his thyroid.
Once the infection is cleared, the cure seems to be to find the opening in the throat and then to cauterize it, creating scar tissue that will block the opening to the tube.
And yes, it is quite rare. Dr. Sun at Good Samaritan in West Islip is an absolute genius.
Thank God for him and for the simplicity of the complication (lol?)...............
