Abstract
Midline cervical cleft (MCC) is a rare congenital deformity in the anterior portion of the neck. A skin lesion is present with an underlying fibrous cord-like formation that in severe cases caused contracture. Disagreement exists as to the pathogenesis. Treatment comprises excision and Z-plasty. A case of a premature infant is reported where the MCC coexisted with a thyreoglossal duct fistula.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
