The developmental anomalies of the branchial cysts or clefts may take the form of either a cyst, sinus or fistula. Although this is a common condition seen in ear-nose-throat practice we wanted to report a branchial cyst case, since the lesion was big in size and causing neurological findings. The cervical computerized tomography of this case who had a swelling on the right side of the neck and plain and numbness on the right upper extremity revealed a multiloculated, cystic and hypodance mass causing shift of the larynx. During the postoperative period following the removal of the mass an improvement of the upper extremity findings was observed and the lesion did not show any recurrence. Here we also discuss about the prevalence of cleft anomalies, its symptoms, diagnostic methods, its differential diagnosis and operative procedures. |
