Abstract

Midline cervical cleft is a rare congenital anomaly of the ventral neck and its embryological origin has not been clearly established. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of midline cervical cleft operated on at the age of 2 months in order to illustrate its clinical presentation and surgical management.

Imaging of congenital anomalies of the temporal bone.

This article briefly presents the embryology of the ear and discusses the external auditory canal and middle ear, including first branchial cleft anomalies, external auditory canal atresia and stenoses, congenital cholesteatoma, and congenital teratoma. Topics related to the labyrinths include aplasia, the common-chamber anomaly, the pseudo-Mondini and Mondini malformations, semicircular canal dysplasia, and the large vestibular aqueduct. Vascular malformations and variations also are presented, including the absent and aberrant internal carotid artery, the persistent stapedial artery, and high jugular bulb; cerebrospinal fluid and perilymph fistulas are the subjects of the final section.

Imaging of congenital anomalies of the branchial apparatus.

One of the most challenging topics for radiologists is congenital anomalies arising from abnormal embryogenesis of the branchial apparatus. Defects of the branchial apparatus result in a spectrum of anomalies that includes fistulas, sinuses, cysts, temporal bone anomalies, craniofacial malformations, and systemic disorders. A better understanding of the various radiologic abnormalities is aided by an understanding of their embryonic origins. This article reviews the spectrum of abnormalities that are secondary to anomalous embryogenesis of the branchial arches.
