A branchial cleft abnormality is a mass of abnormally formed tissues within the neck. These tissues may form pockets called cysts that contain fluid, or they may form passages that drain to an opening in the skin surface called fistulas.
ICD-10 code Q18. 0 for Sinus, fistula and cyst of branchial cleft is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
Branchial cleft fistulae are rare congenital abnormalities that arise from the abnormal persistence of branchial apparatus remnants. A complete fistula is a tract that has an internal opening and an external opening.
Four branchial clefts (also called "grooves") form during the development of a human embryo. The first cleft normally develops into the external auditory canal, but the remaining three arches are obliterated and have no persistent structures in normal development.
Also, known as a cleft sinus, a branchial cleft cyst is a lump that develops in the neck or just below the collarbone. Branchial cleft cysts form during development of the embryo. They occur when tissues in the neck and collarbone area (branchial cleft) fail to develop normally.
Ventricular Septal Defect – VSD (ICD-10: Q21)
These structures may connect with the skin only and drain sloughed skin through a small opening on the skin (branchial sinus); with the skin and the throat lining and drain mucous through a small opening on the skin (branchial fistula); or have no connection at all and slowly grow over time (branchial cyst).
Second branchial cleft fistulae are congenital anomalies of embryonic development of branchial apparatus with the external cutaneous ostium in the lateral neck connecting to the tonsillar fossa.
Second branchial cleft cysts are benign developmental cysts thought to arise from congenital remnants of the second branchial arch. Other branchial anomalies exist but are much less common than second cleft anomalies which represent >95 % of all branchial cleft anomalies [1, 2].
Branchial cleft cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that may look like lumps under your skin on the side of your neck. Healthcare providers may refer to branchial cleft cysts as pharyngeal cleft cysts or as a type of neck mass. These cysts are congenital, meaning they're present at birth.
Definition of branchial : of, relating to, or supplying the gills or associated structures or their embryonic precursors.
Spontaneous rupture of an abscessed branchial cleft cyst may result in a purulent draining sinus to the skin or the pharynx. Depending on the size and the anatomical extension of the mass, local symptoms, such as dysphagia, dysphonia, dyspnea, and stridor, may occur.
Branchial fistulas occur when one opening forms specifically between the skin and throat lining (pharynx), draining mucus out of the neck. Branchial cleft cysts occur when there is no external opening and liquid cannot drain out of the neck. Then, a collection of fluid forms.
A fistula is an abnormal channel leading between two cavities or surfaces which may drain a fluid material such as saliva or pus. An example would be from the mouth (oral cavity) to the skin surface, usually of the face or neck, and this specific type is called an orocutaneous fistula.
Definition of branchial : of, relating to, or supplying the gills or associated structures or their embryonic precursors.
Listen to pronunciation. (FIS-chuh-luh) An abnormal opening or passage between two organs or between an organ and the surface of the body. Fistulas may be caused by injury, infection, or inflammation, or may be created during surgery.
Otocephaly (from the Greek words οτο, meaning “ear”, and κεφάλη, meaning "head") is a type of head disorder (cephalic disorder).
