Abstract :

INTRODUCTION – Second anchial cleft fistulae are congenital anomalies of emyonic development of anchial apparatus with the external cutaneous ostium in the lateral neck connecting to the tonsillar fossa. Second anchial cleft fistulae are rare and comprise only 2% of all anchial anomalies. They commonly present in the first and second decade of life. There is a slight with male predilection (M: F 3: 2). AIMS & OBJECTIVES – Second anchial cleft fistula is very rare entity of Developmental anomalies arising from the anchial apparatus & our aim is to diagnose it with the help of conventional & computerized tomographic techniques. MATERIALS & METHODS – A rare case study of complete Second anchial cleft fistula with use of conventional (Fistulography) x ray & computed tomography of involved part. RESULTS – By using above methods & materials we diagnosed complete path & opening of Complete second anchial cleft fistula. CONCLUSIONS – Conventional radiology (fistulography) using x–rays & computed tomography of the lesion is useful in diagnosis of complete second anchial cleft fistula.
