ABSTRACT
Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare anomaly classified as a malformation of the branchial arches and represents less than 2% of congenital cervical malformations. Its clinical presentation involves cervical midline deformities cephalic nodular lesion, linear groove with atrophic surface, and/or caudal sinus. Other midline alterations of variable complexity may also be present. Early treatment allows for avoiding long-term complications. Based on our experience in four clinical cases, a performed literature search on the topic in the last twenty years, and subsequent discussion of the employed surgical approaches, we included 150 reported cases in our review. Correct diagnosis and early treatment with complete removal of the fibrous midline band is paramount to avoid patient complaints until adolescence or adulthood.
