ABSTRACT |
The pyriform sinus fistula can cause a recurrent abscess in the neck and the current treatment of choice involves complete excision of the sinus tract. But, because of excisional difficult, chemical cautery has been intermittently used as a successful substitute. Recently we experienced a case of pyriform sinus fistula of 9 year-old female who was successfully treated with chemocauterization with trichloroacetic acid(TCA) and ligation of the internal opening of the fistula tract on suspension laryngoscopy. So we report this rate case with review of literatures. |
