چکیده
The congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare developmental abnormality of the anterior part of the neck Luschka in 1848 and noted in the English literature by Bailey in 1924 [1,2]. The lesion is often initially evaluated by a pediatrician or primary care physician who may misinterpret the anomaly as a branchial cleft deformity or thyroglossal duct cyst. Although developmentally related to these disorders, the congenital midline cervical cleft represents a distinct anomaly that should be recognized at initial examination. The parents can then be appropriately counseled about the implications and further management decisions that are peculiar to this disorder.
