Biography

Biography: Hossam Thabet

Abstract

Branchial arch anomalies occur due to abnormal development of the branchial arch clefts or pouches. They may be in the form of a cyst, sinus, or fistula. Branchial cyst are the second common congenital pediatric neck swelling after thyroglossal duct cysts. Second arch branchial cleft cysts are the most common, they are situated in the posterior submandibular space between the SMG & SCM muscle. 3^rd & 4^th branchial arch cysts or fistulae are very rare. Branchial Cleft Cysts (BCC) with external openings are associated with the 1^st & 2^nd arches, whereas the 3^rd & 4^th arches are associated with internal openings.
