Branchial cleft cysts generally occur unilaterally at the lateral aspect of the neck. Bilateral branchial cysts are rare and may have familial associations. We report a rare case of non-syndromic bilateral branchial cyst in a 23-year-old woman who presented with chronic bilateral, progressively enlarging painless neck swellings. Complete surgical excision of the bilateral cyst was done. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Precise diagnosis with early and complete surgical excision of branchial cysts may help prevent recurrence and other complications.

Treacher Collins syndrome, also known as mandibulofacial dysostosis, is a rare congenital disorder affecting craniofacial development. It is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, primarily in the TCOF1 gene, which impacts the development of the first and second branchial arches. We present the case of a 12-year-old male with bilateral conductive hearing loss and deformed ears, whose clinical and imaging findings were consistent with Treacher Collins syndrome.
