- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 20 years old female presented with a midline skin lesion in the anterior part of neck since birth. It indicates that the indications for surgery in congenital mid-line cervical cleft (CMCC) are aesthetic, prevention of cervical contractures, and associated clefts of lip and mandible. It reveals that simple excision or transection of the fibrous band leads to recurrence of scarring and fibrosis.
