Relation between a first branchial cleft anomaly and the facial nerve

Yu-Xing Guo et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2012 Apr.

Abstract

Relations between first branchial cleft anomalies and the facial nerve vary. We reviewed 41 patients' medical records and pathological sections to clarify the relation, and found that those on the right side in young patients, which were Work type II and situated low down, were likely to be deep to the facial nerve.
