A sinus tract presenting with an opening around the angle of mandible is suggestive of first cleft remnant. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with a recurrent discharging sinus around the angle of the right mandible whose internal opening was near the tonsil on imaging. Complete excision was performed with facial nerve monitoring. We discuss technical aspects of the surgery and possible embryology.
一个在下颌角周围有开口的窦道提示第一鳃裂残余。我们报告一例4岁男孩，其右下颌角周围有一个反复排脓的窦道，影像学检查显示其内部开口靠近扁桃体。手术在面神经监测下进行了完整切除。我们讨论了手术的技术细节以及可能的胚胎学情况。
