Abstract:
Second branchial anomalies like branchial cyst, sinus or fistula are common lateral neck masses in pediatric age group but it is rare to encounter complete branchial fistula with external as well as internal openings. We present a case of 16 yrs old female patient with complete Branchial fistula which was diagnosed with the help of CT fistulogram and thereafter taken up for surgical excision of fistula under general anaesthesia. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of branchial fistula. In case of lateral neck mass with external opening in pediatric age group strong possibility of diagnosis of branchial fistula should be kept, timely management of the case improves the quality of life.
