First branchial cleft fistula (Work Type 2) with an internal opening to the Eustachian tube: Case report and review of literature
First branchial cleft anomalies are rare congenital defects of the head and neck. This case report presents a 12-year-old patient with a draining cutaneous pit approximately 1-cm anterior and 5-mm inferior to the right angle of the mandible. Imaging revealed a fistula between the cutaneous pit and E...
