Abstract

In this paper we describe a rare case of cervical fistula tract. It comes in a child and it seems important to consider in the differential diagnosis, in ORL child. Branchial anomalies can present as cysts or fistulas sinusoidal paths. Explained by poor development of gill arch during embryologic. They occur mainly in children between 2-3 years of age and sometimes in youth. Appear equally in both sexes. The first brachial arch fistulas are rare (1%-8%), the most common are the second arch (90%). In our experience the imaging method of choice to evaluate abnormalities of the brachial arches is the sinogram. Treatment is surgical removal.
