Overview

Deep neck infection is an infection in the neck area and Nasopharyngeal branchial cysts are rare disease arising mostly from the second branchial cleft. The cysts can be asymptomatic or show symptoms of tubal insufficiency, fullness of the ear discomfort or postnasal drip. Diagnosis is established on typical localization, imaging and histopathology. The treatment involves surgical extirpation or marsupialization of the cyst, wherein the external approaches are now being replaced by transoral or transnasal endoscopic marsupialization.
