Maldevelopment of the embryonal branchial arches may result in widely different cervical midline and ear anomalies. It should generally not be difficult and clinically feasible to diagnose them and differentiate them against other diseases if one is conversant with the associated special embryological and anatomical features. Nevertheless, false diagnoses are still frequent. The rate of diagnostic errors is almost 20% in our own 318 child patients with swellings in the cervical midline. Hence, it is easy to understand why there is a demand for widening the scope of preoperative diagnosis. Sonography offers a highly effective imaging examination technique. Additional information can also be gained occasionally via CT and angiography. We can, however, usually omit punctures and x-ray imaging of fistulas.
