    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Congenital median cervical clefts can recur after Z-plasty, especially with underlying hypoplasia. Surgical treatment may require tissue supplementation and genioplasty for mandibular growth disturbances.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital median cervical clefts are rare developmental anomalies.
    • These clefts can present as folds or fistulas, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    Observation:

    • The authors present 3 cases of congenital median cervical clefts, including 2 recurrences.
    • Clinical features and literature review highlight key characteristics of these lesions.

    Findings:

    • Surgical treatment modalities include Z-plasty, musculocutaneous flaps, and tissue expansion.
    • Recurrence after Z-plasty, particularly in infants, suggests underlying regional hypoplasia necessitating tissue supplementation.
    • Mandibular growth disturbances may require secondary genioplasty in adolescent patients.

    Implications:

    • Early and comprehensive surgical management is crucial for optimal outcomes in congenital median cervical clefts.
    • Addressing underlying hypoplasia is vital to prevent recurrence.
    • Long-term follow-up is necessary to manage potential growth disturbances and cosmetic concerns.
