First branchial cleft is the only branchial structure that persists as the external ear canal, while all other clefts are resorbed. Incomplete obliteration and the degree of closure cause the varied types of first branchial cleft anomalies. They were classified based on the anatomical and histological features. We present an unusual type of first branchial cleft anomaly involving the external auditory canal, the middle ear and the nasopharynx through the eustachian tube.
第一鳃裂是唯一持续存在并形成外耳道的鳃结构，而其他所有鳃裂均会被吸收。不完全闭塞以及闭合程度导致了多种类型的第一鳃裂畸形。它们是根据解剖学和组织学特征进行分类的。我们报告了一种不寻常类型的第一鳃裂畸形，其通过咽鼓管累及外耳道、中耳和鼻咽部。
