Branchial Cleft

Objectives To investigate the microbiology profile of infected branchial cleft anomalies compared to deep neck infection and explore the influence of age on culture findings. Study Design A retrospective case control study. Setting A single tertiary medical center. Subjects and Methods Patients treated for branchial cleft anomalies between 2006 and 2016 were included. Demographic data, disease and treatment parameters, and microbiology profile, including bacteria classification, antibiotics resistance patterns, and number of pathogens, were analyzed. Results Of 278 cases treated for branchial cleft anomalies, we have analyzed 69 cases with infection and pathogen identification. The proportion of monobacterial infections was higher (70.6% vs 44.3%; P = .003; odds ratio [OR], 3.02) and the proportion of Streptococcus species infection was lower (48.9% vs 77.2%; P = .001; OR, 0.282) among the infected branchial cleft cases compared to deep neck infections. Anaerobic bacteria infection did not differ between groups (17.8% and 16.5%, respectively). There was a nonsignificant tendency toward more resistant bacterial strains among the infected branchial clefts (15.6% vs 6.3%; P = .118; OR, 2.726). There was no difference between the bacterial profile of patients younger or older than 16 years. Conclusions The microbiology profile of infected branchial cleft anomalies is not age related and is different from that of deep neck infections. We demonstrate a relatively high frequency of monobacterial infections, relatively lower streptococcal infection rates, and a substantial contribution by resistant species and anaerobes. Empiric antibiotic treatment should cover Streptococcus species, including penicillin-resistant species, as well as clindamycin-resistant anaerobes.

AbstractWe present a retrospective study of 106 patients with branchial cleft and pouch anomalies who presented to the Hospital for Sick Children between 1948 and 1990. The relevant embryology of the branchial apparatus is summarized and a theoretical description of individual anomalies given.Second branchial cleft sinuses were the most common anomalies, and the majority were managed simply, with adequate excision and a low recurrence rate. Five cases of first branchial cleft anomalies are presented, emphasizing the delay in diagnosis, the need for complete excision to prevent recurrence, and for a parotidectomy incision to protect the facial nerve from damage. The two third branchial pouch anomalies presented with a cystic neck swelling, one with recurrent infection and discharge, and the other with stridor. In both, the diagnosis was made at operation. The single fourth branchial pouch cyst was an unexpected finding in a patient with stridor.

Adenoid Cystic

Malignant tumours of the salivary glands in children are extremely rare. We present here a 12-year-old girl initially diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma on fine needle aspiration biopsy, and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) after the lesion was excised and examined by histopathology. A wide resection of the lesion and bilateral supraomyohyoid neck dissection was performed. To our knowledge this is one of the youngest patients with ACC of the minor salivary glands. Due to its benign histological appearance, the biological agressiveness of ACC is usually underestimated. Although fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is very valuable in diagnosis, cytological variations of pleomorphic adenoma must be considered. ACC of the tongue in a young age group should be treated with wide resection and selective neck dissection if the tumour is localized in places where the risk of metastasis is increased and if there is a clinically palpable lymph node. In such cases the clinician should not avoid radical operations even in a young patient.
