Branchial cleft anomalies are congenital head and neck lesions that arise from incomplete maturation of the branchial apparatus during fetal development. The branchial arches are the precursors of the face, neck and pharynx, and disturbances in embryogenesis can present clinically as cysts, sinus tracts, and fistulas in predictable anatomic locations. However, there remains controversy regarding the precise embryogenesis of branchial cleft anomalies with several competing theories. These lesions often evade diagnosis in early childhood and may present in a delayed fashion after multiple failed interventions. Various diagnostic modalities have been described to facilitate clinical workup. Definitive treatment is complete surgical excision of the lesion. We present a comprehensive review of the literature along with several illustrative cases that highlight the unique challenges of diagnosis and surgical management of branchial cleft anomalies.

Branchial cleft anomalies are well described, with the second arch anomaly being the commonest. Remains of cervical sinus of His may persist as a branchial cyst. A branchial sinus is formed when 2nd branchial arch fails to meet the 5th pharyngeal arch. Peak age for presentation of branchial cysts is in the third decade and that of the congenital sinuses and fistulae is at birth. The association of a branchial cyst with branchial sinus is very rare. We are presenting two cases had branchial cyst along with branchial sinus. It was managed successfully with complete excision. Histopathological examination confirmed the association.

Branchial cysts are rare congenital malformations which arise due to the partial or complete involution of branchial apparatus in the development of the human embryo, causing huge discomfort to the patient. The objective of the study is to investigate the clinical picture, the evolution, the diagnostic methods of the branchial cysts to optimize the treatment tactics. A clinical case will be presented of a 40–years–old patient which was admitted to IMU IMSP in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department with the diagnosis of a left lateral branchial cyst. The patient accuses aesthetic disorders and the presence of a voluminous swelling which was located in the upper left lateral cervical region that began 2 years ago with episodes of frequent superinfection, gradually increasing in size. Therefore, a clinical and paraclinical examination was performed (laboratory tests, ultrasonography) to specify the diagnosis and to provide additional information on adjacent anatomical structures that may influence the tactics of the surgical treatment. A surgical intervention such as „removal of the swelling” was advised. Following the excision of the cyst under general anesthesia, the postoperative period passed without any particularities. Early diagnosis will reduce the increase in size of the branchial cysts preventing inflammatory complications with their superinfection.
