Congenital Midline cervical cleft

Dr. Ajitsingh. P. Chadha, Dr. Nehadeep Kaur Chadha

Abstract :

Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the ventral neck. Numerous malformations can affect the anterior part of the neck presenting at birth as a real diagnostic challenge. This can be wrongly diagnosed as a thyroglossal duct anomaly, dermoid cyst, achial cleft anomaly or birthmark. A prompt clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment during early infancy are essential to ensure both functional and aesthetic outcome. It represents a failure of the achial arches to fuse in the midline and presents at birth with a ventral midline defect of the skin of the neck. Inadequate treatment may cause secondary complications such as impaired neck extension, microgenia, exostosis, torticollis or infection
