Abstract:
PURPOSE:Pyriform sinus fistula (PSF) is very rare. It is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. The aim of this study is to summarize the characteristics of clinical and radiologic presentations in neonates and children with PSF and to assess which examination is more helpful for diagnosis. METHODS:A retrospective review was performed in 29 patients with PSF at a single center from January 2013 to September 2016. The clinical presentation, computed tomography (CT) scan/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and barium esophagogram were evaluated between neonates and children. RESULTS:This study comprised 14 neonates and 15 children. Neonatal patients presented with cervical cyst, dyspnea, and stridor. However, the most common presentations of children were recurrent neck abscess and thyroiditis. All the neonates and 12 the children underwent CT scan/MRI, which showed the characteristic air pocket in the cervical lesion of 11 (78.6%) neonates and 4 (33.3%) children. The positive rates of barium esophagography in the neonates and children were 27.3% and 86.7%, respectively, the difference of which was statistically significant. CONCLUSION:To obtain an accurate diagnosis of PSF, the differences in clinical and radiologic presentation suggest that CT scan/MRI is preferred for neonates, and barium esophagography is preferred for children. CT scans performed immediately after barium swallow improve the positive rate.
