Pyriform sinus fistulae/sinuses are rare causes of recurrent cervical abscess, especially on the left side. They can also present as acute thyroiditis. Treatment in the form of simple incision and drainage is invariably unsuccessful, and the entity may be confused with the residual tract of a second branchial arch anomaly. We report a case of pyriform sinus fistula, and believe that this is only the second case report in India. We feel that greater awareness can lead to proper and appropriate diagnosis of this anomaly.
梨状窝瘘管/窦道是复发性颈部脓肿的罕见病因,尤其是左侧。它们也可表现为急性甲状腺炎。单纯切开引流的治疗方法总是不成功,且该病症可能与第二鳃弓畸形的残留通道相混淆。我们报告一例梨状窝瘘管病例,并且认为这是印度的第二例病例报告。我们认为提高认识可导致对这种畸形进行正确和恰当的诊断。
