Second branchial cleft cysts are a cystic dilatation of the remnant of the second branchial cleft that account for 95-percent of all branchial cleft malformations, along with second branchial fistulae and sinuses. Among them, the type-IV second branchial cyst is present against the pharyngeal wall in the parapharyngeal space and is rarest of all. Herein we report a rare presentation of type-IV second branchial cyst where MRI played a critical role for accurate preoperative diagnosis. The transcervical approach is a safe and effective technique for proper exposure and hence total surgical excision in such cases.

A 6-month-old presented with a sinus in the neck coursing from below the body of the mandible, between the carotid and parotid spaces, and terminating posterior to the stylomastoid foramen on MRI. Facial nerve monitoring was used, a lacrimal probe was placed in the sinus, an elliptical incision was made in the skin, and the tract was followed to the parapharyngeal space. Pathology demonstrated a keratinous squamous epithelial lining, skin adnexae, and elastic cartilage.

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by defects in the development of structures derived from the first and the second branchial arches. This condition encompasses a range of symptoms, including craniofacial, ocular, vertebral, and auricular abnormalities. We present the case of a 6-year-old girl with right temporal bone hypoplasia and preauricular tag from birth, leading to a diagnosis of Goldenhar syndrome.

To explore the feasibility of endoscopic-assisted resection of congenital first and second branchial cleft malformations in children via the external fistula incision approach. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 children with congenital first and second branchial cleft malformations who were admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Hu'nan Children's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 and whose families voluntarily consented to endoscopic surgery. Clinical data were collected.

Introduction And Importance: The branchial or pharyngeal apparatus, crucial in embryological development, consists of clefts, arches, pouches, and membranes. Anomalies arising from this apparatus particularly involving the second branchial arch, are rare. Among these anomalies, complete second branchial cleft fistulas, with both external and internal openings, are exceptionally uncommon.
