Abstract
The preoperative fistulography used in cases of second branchial cleft anomalies is an effective method of showing the exact anatomy and topography of these fistulas in the neck. This visualisation is very important because the only therapeutic solution is complete surgical resection. This method is easy to perform and is painless. We report two patients with branchiogenic anomalies. The diagnosis was established by fistulography and histological examination.
