CONGENITAL MIDLINE CERVICAL CLEFT

Abstract
|
|
|
Midline cervical cleft is rare congenital anomaly of the ventral neck.
This anomaly is part of a spectrum of midline branchiogenic syndromes resulting from
abnormal migration of cells derived from the branchial arches.
The lesion may be present at any level in the midline of the neck.
The congenital midline cleft is frequently associated with a cord-like thickening that in severe
cases caused contracture.
We report a case of congenital midline cervical cleft in a 33 year-old-female. There was prunounced contracture of the neck.
We treated by complete excision of fibrous band in the midline, including the attenuated skin and the closure of skin by large double Z plasty.
The cleft was completely corrected, and there was no restriction of full extension of the neck.
