The formation of the branchial arches can be altered, generating abnormalities that are evident in fistulas or cysts. Alterations in the first and second branchial arches compromise the eyes, nose, mouth, skull, neck, cervical spine, and hands.
For correct treatment, a diagnosis must be made based on the clinical finding and the results of imaging studies (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging).
