Abstract
Complete second branchial fistula is a rare clinical entity. The classical presentation of second branchial fistula is recurrent discharge from the external opening with or without recurrent painful neck swelling. We report an unusual case whose presenting symptom was a long-standing history of throat discomfort with recurrent blood stained saliva. Her symptoms resolved after her branchial fistula was excised.
