  • Title: Persistent pharyngeal pouch derivatives in the neonate.
    Author: Burge D, Middleton A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1983 Jun; 18(3):230-4. PubMed ID: 6875768.
    Abstract:
    Internal branchial sinuses are rare compared to other branchial anomalies. A case is described in which such a sinus presented as an air-containing inflammatory lateral neck mass in a neonate and evidence is presented to support the theory that this originated from the fourth pharyngeal pouch. Review of six similar cases from the literature shows this to be a well-defined clinical entity.
