  • Title: Fluoroscopic and CT fistulography of the first branchial cleft.
    Author: Whetstone J, Branstetter BF, Hirsch BE.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2006 Oct; 27(9):1817-9. PubMed ID: 17032848.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of a complete first branchial cleft fistula communicating between the external auditory canal and the skin near the angle of the mandible. CT and fluoroscopic fistulography were used to establish the presence and course of the tract and to assist in surgical planning. The embryology and classification of first branchial cleft anomalies are discussed, with emphasis on the impact of imaging.
