Abstract
Branchial arch anomalies (sinuses, fistulae, cysts and condral remnants) represent one of the commonest paediatric neck malformations. The paper describes a case study of a 2-year-old girl who presented with a persistent left-sided ear drainage, unresponsive to antibiotic treatment. An ultimate careful inspection revealed the opening of a fistula into the ear canal. The thick purulent drainage leads to the correct interpretation of the magnetic resonance imaging: first branchial arch suppurated cyst.
