Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Even though branchial cleft cysts are currently accepted as a congenital anomaly, there is often a long delay until clinical presentation; branchial cleft cysts classically appear in the second to fourth decade of life."( Anagnostopoulos, I; Doll, C; Heiland, M; Jöhrens, K; Raguse, JD, 2017)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"Six patients with Baker's cysts, 3 with branchial cleft cysts, and 2 with thyroglossal duct cysts were treated with percutaneous aspiration and absolute ethanol sclerotherapy using a 7-French pigtail catheter."( Fukumoto, K; Kojima, T; Kontani, K; Murai, S; Tomonari, H; Tsujimoto, F, 1994)
"The data suggest that branchial cleft cyst (BCC) can be primarily treated with OK-432 sclerotherapy and only the remaining lesions with excision."( Hyun Kim, K; Il Park, C; Roh, JL; Sung, MW, 2006)
