Abstract
There has been no established operative procedure for pyriform sinus fistula because of its rarity. Recurrence may occur even after neck exploration. We successfully managed six pediatric cases with this disease without any complications or recurrences. Our experience indicates that exposing the inferior cornu of thyroid cartilage with its covering muscles facilitates resection of the proximal portion of this fistula.Entities:
