Invagination of endoderm from inside and ectoderm from outside are known as pharyngeal pouch and branchial clefts respectively. Incomplete fusion of these structure lead to formation of branchial sinus/ fistula. Anomoly of second arch is commonest and manifests as Branchial sinus. We present such a case in a 18 years old boy.
