Abstract

Purpose: To analyse the prevalence, distribution and presentation of different congenital head-neck lesions with their age, sex, site and side predilection.

Methods: 50 patients of head-neck congenital swelling was selected from january/2013 upto december/2013 in the OPD of otorhino-laryngology, head and neck deptt. of Dhaka medical college hospital under a specific prospective study protocol.

Results: The most frequent swelling was thyroglossal cyst(42%), followed by branchial arch anomalies (18%),dermoid cyst(14%),pre-auricular sinus(14%),lymphangioma(8%) and haemangioma(4%).Amongst the cervical swellings the sequential preponderence was thyroglossal cyst(52%),branchial arch anomalies(23%),dermoid cyst(13%), lymphangioma(10%) and haemangioma (2%).The majority of branchial arch anomalies(100%) were of second arch. The majority of patients were of first(52%) and second(30%) decade and the male to female ratio for thyroglossal cysts was 1:1.1.The majority of lesions were painless swelling and all were surgically excised.
