The fourth branchial pouch sinus, a rare neck abscess cause, requires high suspicion for diagnosis. Surgical excision of the sinus tract and thyroid lobectomy is the standard treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Surgical anatomy
  • Head and neck surgery

Background:

  • Branchial pouch anomalies are rare congenital malformations.
  • The fourth branchial pouch sinus typically presents as recurrent left-sided neck abscesses.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of branchial pouch anomaly with a late presentation.
  • Diagnostic tools include Barium swallow and computed tomography (CT) scans.

Findings:

  • A high index of suspicion is crucial for diagnosing this rare condition.
  • Complete surgical excision of the epithelial tract is the primary management strategy.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis can prevent complications associated with recurrent infections.
