ABSTRACT
The fourth branchial cleft cyst is rare and frequently unknown to clinicians. Misdiagnosis is common and definitive surgery is often made difficult by previous episodes of infection and incision. We have experienced a case of non-communicating dumbbell shaped fourth branchial cleft cyst. We performed complete excision of the entire epithelial tract after disarticulating the cricothyroid joint. There was no recurrence.
