Bilateral Second Branchial Arch Fistula in a 19 year old - A Case Report
Abstract
Developmental anomalies involving the branchial apparatus result in branchial cysts, sinuses and fistulas. A congenital branchial fistula is not as commonly encountered as a cyst or sinus. Branchial fistulas mostly arise from the second branchial arch and present at birth. Only few cases are bilateral. Complete branchial fistulas with both external and internal openings are rare. We present a case of bilateral branchial fistula with both external and internal openings in a 19 year old male which is a rare occurrence.
