Silly question...

I recall at a very young age being told by my Dr. that I had a "cord" in my throat, that usually disappears/dissolves by a certain age...but mine hadn't/hasn't. It is not visible, but the Dr. did also say that some people elect to have it removed "for cosmetic reasons."

My question is this...WHAT is this? Does anyone else have this? I am sorry for lack of clinical terms, but my memory is vague due to the fact that I was a child when I was told this. I asked my mother and she remembered...but no more than I remembered.

I also wonder if this could be at all related to my thyroid condition...? I am hoping someone on here knows of this condition, and has the correct term. I'd like to bring it up to my Dr., but would prefer doing so if I have more information...such as what to "call it"! LOL!

Thank you!
