Abstract
|
|
|
|
Early suspicion is essential in diagnosing pyriform sinus cysts. We report two neonatal cases of pyriform sinus cysts presented as neck masses. The first case presented as a right neck mass, which made it more difficult to suspect a pyriform sinus cyst considering the prevalence of left sided cysts. Surgical resection was done in both cases and anatomical investigation suggested both to originate from the fourth branchial pouch. Detection of air bubble containing mass on imaging studies can aid early diagnosis and early use of gastric tube feeding can facilitate treatment by preventing milk contamination which may result in infection of the sinus cyst.
