Abstract
Anomaly of 2nd arch is the commonest among branchial arches anomalies and manifests as branchial sinus in majority of cases while branchial fistula is seldom to occur. We present a case of left branchial fistula in a 9 years old boy, which was confirmed by a fistulogram. The tract was completely excised by combined surgical approach with excellent outcome.
