Abstract
|
|
|
The branchial anomalies are persistent remnants of the embryologic branchial
apparatus, manifestating as sinuses, fistulas, cartilage nests or combinations. Bilateral
second branchial cleft anormalies are extremely rare. Clinically, they present palpable
mass, discharge from fistula, recurrent infection due to obstruction of fistula tract.
Recently the authors have experienced a case of bilateral second branchial cleft anomaly
in a 24-year old male patient and so report with the result of surgical correction and
some reviews of the literatures.
