Per-oral excision of a pharyngeal branchial cyst after MRI study.
A per-oral approach to pharyngeal branchial cysts is possible, and ideal when they are placed medially to the pharyngeal constrictors and no fistular duct is connected to the mass. At present MRI is found to be the best means of achieving the correct diagnosis of morphology and site.
