Abstract

We report on a 5-year-old female with midline cervical cleft. Midline cervical cleft is a rare congenital anomaly of the ventral neck, characterized by a submental tissue protrusion, red scar-like depression running longitudinally from the protrusion, a caudal fistula, and a subcutaneous cord-like structure. These findings were observed in this patient at birth. The cause of midline cervical cleft is unclear, and the only treatment method is complete surgical resection. In this patient, complete resection of the midline cervical cleft was performed, followed by reconstruction using Z-plasty. The surgical wound state was favorable without any aesthetic problems. There were no functional abnormalities, such as impairment of neck flexion or extension.
