Pyriform sinus fistulae are rare causes of recurrent cervical abscesses and acute thyroiditis. Increased awareness is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of this rare anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pyriform sinus fistulae are uncommon congenital anomalies.
  • They are a rare cause of recurrent cervical abscesses, often misdiagnosed.
  • Left-sided fistulae are more prevalent and can mimic branchial cleft anomalies.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of pyriform sinus fistula in India.
  • The patient presented with recurrent cervical abscesses.
  • Diagnosis was challenging due to potential confusion with other neck masses.

Findings:

  • Simple incision and drainage are ineffective treatments for pyriform sinus fistulae.
  • Pyriform sinus fistulae can present atypically as acute thyroiditis.
  • This represents the second reported case of this anomaly in India.

Implications:

  • Greater clinical awareness can improve diagnostic accuracy for pyriform sinus fistulae.
  • Timely diagnosis prevents misdiagnosis and ineffective treatments.
  • Understanding this anomaly aids in appropriate surgical management and patient outcomes.
