Abstract: | Pyriform sinus fistulae/sinuses are rare causes of recurrent cervical abscess, especially on the left side. They can also
present as acute thyroiditis. Treatment in the form of simple incision and drainage is invariably unsuccessful, and the entity
may be confused with the residual tract of a second branchial arch anomaly. We report a case of pyriform sinus fistula, and
believe that this is only the second case report in India. We feel that greater awareness can lead to proper and appropriate
diagnosis of this anomaly. |
