What is a Neck Sinus?

A Neck Sinus is an abnormal passage or tract that opens onto the skin of the neck. It may be congenital (present from birth) or develop due to infections or trauma. The sinus may connect with deeper neck structures, such as lymph nodes or pharyngeal remnants, and can lead to chronic drainage or swelling.
