ABSTRACT

It is commonly believed that the congenital anomalies are persistance of remnants of embryologic branchial apparatus. Branchial anomalies are relatively rare disease and manifestated by cysts, sinuses, fistulae, cartilagenous remmants or any combination thereof. They are originated from branchial cleft and most commonly involved in second branchial cleft. Clinically they present palpable mass, discharge from fistula, recurrent infection due to obstruction of fistula tract. The sinus or fistulae are usually noted during infancy and young childhood due to recurrent infection. Cysts, however, require more time to produce palpable masses, and often are not diagnosed until later childhood. We have recently experienced two case of branchial fistula, which were removed completely with surgery. Therefore we reported these cases.

Keywords: Branchial fistulaCongenital anomaly.
