2021, American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In such cases, air within the cysts and abnormal echogenicity in the thyroid parenchyma may be a useful diagnostic feature. Other modalities, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, which may require irradiation or sedation, have been reported to be useful to diagnose pyriform sinus fistulas [2,6,7,19]. These two modalities are useful to evaluate the relationship between the lesion and trachea and easily detect the air within the cyst (Figs. 2 and 4).

2014, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In keeping with the experience reported in the literature [1,2,6,7], most of our patients (88.9%) presented with a left inflammatory neck mass. The exact cause of this cannot be completely understood and is likely to be related to the asymmetrical transformation of the branchial apparatus [1,6]. Besides, the inflammation is also known to be commonly preceded by upper respiratory tract infection [1,2], occurring in 61.1% of patients in the current series.
