Summary

Congenital mid-line cervical clefts are rare branchiogenic syndromes. Surgical excision with Z-plasty is the preferred treatment for this anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Surgical pathology
  • Medical genetics

Background:

  • The mid-line cervical cleft is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It is part of a spectrum of branchiogenic syndromes.

Observation:

  • Two recent cases of mid-line cervical cleft are presented.
  • Clinical presentation, gross pathology, and histopathology are detailed.

Findings:

  • Complete excision of the cervical cleft using Z-plasty is the demonstrated preferred operative technique.
  • The embryologic origins and varying severity of mid-line branchiogenic syndromes are discussed.

Implications:

  • This study highlights the importance of understanding the embryologic basis of these syndromes.
  • Surgical management with Z-plasty offers a viable treatment option.
  • Further research into the spectrum of branchiogenic syndromes is warranted.
