Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is a rare birth defect of the neck. This case highlights its association with chromosomal abnormalities and other midline deformities, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

Developmental biology
Medical genetics
Pediatric surgery

Background:

Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is a rare ventral neck malformation.
It requires differentiation from the more common thyroglossal duct cyst.
Early diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

A case of CMCC is presented with associated findings.
The condition was linked to a de novo Robertsonian translocation involving chromosomes 13/14.
Additional midline deformities included a sacral tuft and minor tongue-tie.

Findings:

Detailed histopathology and embryological considerations of CMCC are discussed.
The presented case offers insights into the genetic underpinnings of CMCC.

Related Experiment Videos

Surgical treatment strategies for CMCC are explored.

Implications:

This case broadens the understanding of CMCC's clinical spectrum and associated anomalies.
It emphasizes the importance of genetic evaluation in infants with CMCC.
Improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for CMCC may result from such studies.
