Clinical usefulness of multidetector CT fistulography of branchial cleft fistula.
We report three cases of branchial cleft anomalies demonstrated by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) fistulography. Multiplanar reformatted images using MDCT were excellent in delineating the whole fistulous tract and its surrounding structures. MDCT fistulography was very helpful in the diagnosis and surgical planning for sinus and fistula of branchial cleft anomalies.
