Congenital Midline Cervical Cleft: A Case Report And An Embryological Review
2012
Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC ) is a rare anterior neck anomaly with controversial theories / hypothesis regarding its embryogenesis. If it is not treated at an early age, it can result in complications like webbing of the neck, dental malocclusion and restricted neck movements. We are describing here, one such case, who presented at an age of 19 years. The lesion was excised and closure was done by multiple Z- plasty, with satisfactory results. We have discussed the embryological theories / hypothesis with the review of literature.
