title: [Congenital anomalies of the first branchial cleft. Retrospective study].
abstract: Anomalies of the first branchial cleft are occasional problems putting up diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, because the imperfect settlement of reminders of this cleft, which can appear as cysts or branchial fistula, among patients of any age. Though there are several recommended classifications in order to achieve a precious diagnosis and a total surgical removal, sometimes is laborious to correlate the clinical and the histological findings. We report a sequence of congenital periauricular anomalies operated in our Department during a ten-years-term and compare our findings of those quoted after the literature series.
