  • Title: [Congenital cysts and fistulae in children].
    Author: Bigorre M.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 2016 Oct; 61(5):371-388. PubMed ID: 27545655.
    Abstract:
    Cysts and fistulae of the face and neck in children are formed before birth and correspond to the persistence of embryonic remnants that occur due to coalescence defects of embryonic buds or due to epidermal inclusion. They represent the most common pathological malformation of the face and neck. They may be separated according to their location into laterocervical cysts and fistulas or median cysts and fistulas. Their discovery may occur prematurely at birth or later during growth or in adulthood. Their treatment always requires surgical excision, which must be complete in order to prevent recurrences.
