Abstract

When branchial clefts and pouches do not atrophy between 4 and 7 weeks of fetal life or when an anomalous or incomplete fusion occurs, congeni- tal neck anomalies may develop. We present a rare case of a mass resem- bling a branchial sinus on the right side of the neck of a 2-month-old baby, which originated from the fourth branchial arch-derived structuresand varies in size with weeping. A 2-month-old boy was brought with a com- plaint of a congenital swelling on his neck. His physical examination re- vealed a cyst on the right lower region of the neck, which swelled when he wept, and prolonged neonatal jaundice. On computed tomographyof the neck, a formation consistent with a branchial cleft cyst originating from the right jugulodigastric region extending up to the right infraclavicular region and to the pyriform sinus was observed. The child was maintained under surveillance. Branchial cysts account for 30% of congenital neck cysts in children. Masses derived from the fourth branchial arch are more frequently seen on the left side. In our patient, this rare mass was local- ized on the right side of the neck and was diagnosed when the baby was 2 months old. During the Valsalva maneuver, pyriform sinuses fill with air passing through their orifices and consequently the size of the mass varies in size. Third and fourth branchial sinus anomalies should be considered in neck masses whose size changes with Valsalva maneuver.

Özet

Doğumsal boyun anomalileri, fetal 4-7. haftalar arasında brankialyarık ve ceplerin yok olmaması, anormal gelişimi ve tamamlanamamışbirleşmelerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Biz iki aylık bir bebekte,sağ boyun bölgesinde, ağlama ile büyüyüp küçülen dördüncübrankial yapılardan kaynaklanan brankial sinüs tarzı kitleyi nadirgörülmesi nedeni ile sunmaktayız. İki aylık erkek hasta boynundadoğuştan olan şişlik şikayeti ile getirildi. Muayenesinde boyun sağalt tarafında ağlama ile şişen kisti ve uzamış yenidoğan sarılığı vardı.Boyun tomografisinde sağ jugulodigastrik bölgeden başlayaraksağ infraklavikuler bölgeye ve sağ priform sinüse uzanım gösterenbrankial yarık kisti tesbit edildi. Operasyon planlanan hasta çocukcerrahisi takibine alındı. Çocuklardaki doğumsal boyun kistlerinin%30'u brankial kistlerdir. Çok nadir görülen dördüncü brankial kitlelerdaha çok solda görülürler. Bizim hastamızda, sağda olması,iki aylık iken tanı konması nedeni ile nadir bir olgudur. Valsalvamanevrası sırasında, piriform sinüse açılan sinüs ağızlarından havadolması ile kitle büyüyüp küçülmektedir. Valsalva manevrası ile bü-yüyüp küçülen kitlelerde üç ve dördüncü brankial sinüs anomalisidüşünülmelidir.
