Congenital Midline Cervical Cleft Case Report and Review

Abstract: Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare disorder with a wide range of presentations. To date, there have been fewer than 35 cases reported in the English-language literature. A rarer finding is the association of bronchogenic cysts or respiratory epithelium with the midline cleft. The clinical presentation of congenital midline cervical cleft with a cephalic skin tab, atrophic cleft, and caudal sinus may distinguish it from other conditions of the midline neck.
