Branchial cleft cyst symptoms?

summary

A few days ago, my friend anxiously told me that her newly born daughter had a branchial cleft cyst, which was a congenital disease. My friend had been crying. I told her that there was nothing that could not be cured because of the advanced medicine, so she went to the hospital for treatment. Experts told her that at the third week of embryonic development, there are five pairs of branchial arches, and the depression between the branchial arches is called branchial cleft. When the branchial arch is hypoplastic, various deformities may occur. Branchial cleft cysts may occur if the branchial cleft is healed but not healed. Next, the treatment of this kind of disease is introduced.

Branchial cleft cyst symptoms?

There are two kinds of treatment, one is non-surgical treatment, which is conservative treatment, and the other is surgical treatment. Non surgical treatment uses some corrosive drugs, such as high concentration of trichloroacetic acid, iodine and so on, to cauterize the fistula or electrocautery, or injection of sclerosing agent to try to make the cyst closed. It is generally believed that this method has unstable effect, can not be cured, and is even easy to damage the surrounding blood vessels Nerve, generally rarely used.

Surgical treatment is to remove the cyst, for asymptomatic patients, can be temporarily observed. The operation should be anesthetized, the correct position and appropriate incision should be taken, and careful dissection should be carried out during the operation to protect the important blood vessels and nerves such as facial nerve, hypoglossal nerve and vagus nerve.

If the cyst volume is large, it should be aspirated at the upper pole of the cyst. The cyst fluid should not be completely aspirated, so as to maintain a certain tension of the cyst for stripping; After puncture, the wall of the capsule at the eye of the needle was ligated to avoid the leakage of the capsule fluid and the expansion of the fissure. For recurrent cases, extended resection is usually used to avoid recurrence.

matters needing attention

If the operation can be completely removed, theoretically, it is not easy to relapse. But we should pay attention to the occurrence of some complications, branchial cleft cyst infection, can form skin scar. Psychological guidance and local skin care should be done before operation; Postoperative symptomatic care, complication observation and wound care. Early diagnosis and early treatment is the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease.
