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.
Causes of Neck Sinus
Branchial cleft anomalies (most common congenital cause)
Thyroglossal duct remnants
Infected cysts or abscesses
Trauma or surgical complications
Chronic infections like tuberculosis or fungal infections
Symptoms of Neck Sinus
Persistent opening or pit in the neck
Intermittent or continuous discharge
Swelling or lump near the jawline or below the ear
Pain, redness, or infection in the area
Fever (if infected)
Repeated abscess formation or foul-smelling drainage
