Abstract

The initial phases of the embryogenetic process are evaluated in order to define its mesenchymal matrix. The influence of cephalic neural crests on mesenchymal derivatives is also underlined. Finally paraxial and lateral mesodermal function on cranial development and brachial arches composition are described. A correlation is established between head and neck, neural crests, mixed and sensorial cranial nerves. Tongue and orbital cavity muscles are identified as paraxial matrix derivative organs.

Midline cervical cleft. A case report.

A case of incomplete midline cervical cleft of the upper neck is reported. It showed histological resemblance to a mature teratoma with three different germ-cell components, including cartilage, striated muscles, small salivary glands, and nerves.

Branchial cleft and pouch anomalies.

We present a retrospective study of 106 patients with branchial cleft and pouch anomalies who presented to the Hospital for Sick Children between 1948 and 1990. The relevant embryology of the branchial apparatus is summarized and a theoretical description of individual anomalies given. Second branchial cleft sinuses were the most common anomalies, and the majority were managed simply, with adequate excision and a low recurrence rate. Five cases of first branchial cleft anomalies are presented, emphasizing the delay in diagnosis, the need for complete excision to prevent recurrence, and for a parotidectomy incision to protect the facial nerve from damage. The two third branchial pouch anomalies presented with a cystic neck swelling, one with recurrent infection and discharge, and the other with stridor. In both, the diagnosis was made at operation. The single fourth branchial pouch cyst was an unexpected finding in a patient with stridor.

Congenital anomalies of the branchial apparatus: embryology and pathologic anatomy.

Various congenital anomalies of branchial origin are found in the neck region. Understanding the varied radiologic appearances of these anomalies is greatly aided by familiarity with their embryologic origins. By considering the anatomic location and radiologic appearance, the precise embryologic origin can be accurately predicted. Defects of the branchial apparatus include branchial, thymic, and parathyroid anomalies, which may manifest as cysts, sinuses, fistulas, and ectopic glands. The embryologic model is used to explain the origins of all branchial apparatus anomalies. The most accepted theory proposes that vestigial remnants result from incomplete obliteration of the branchial apparatus or buried cell rests, and, thus, if cells are trapped in the branchial apparatus during the embryologic stage, they can form branchial cysts later in life. By understanding the embryologic basis for these defects, the radiologist is better able to interpret the findings encountered with the various imaging modalities used in the evaluation of these anomalies.
