Abstract

We present a unique and challenging case of a remnant foreign body that presented to us in a child, disguised as a strongly suspected congenital branchial cleft anomaly. This case, featuring a 2 years old male child, entailed oropharyngeal trauma, with a delayed presentation as a retroauricular cyst accompanied by otorrhea that mimicked the classic presentation of an infected first branchial cleft anomaly. During surgical excision of the presumed branchial anomaly, a large wooden stick was found in the tract. The diagnostic and therapeutic obstacles in the management of such cases are highlighted. In addition to exploring the existing literature, we retrospectively analyzed a plausible explanation of the findings of this case.
