ABSTRACT

Pyriform sinus fistulae (PSF) are rare branchial pouch anomalies. In most previously described cases the anomaly is located on the left side. PSF should be suspected in cervical inflammatory processes (cervical abscesses and types of suppurative thyroiditis). We report two cases of acute thyroiditis and deep cervical abscesses secondary to PSF, which were diagnosed and treated in our hospital in the last 2 years. Both presented inflammatory cervical masses associated with painful swallowing, high fever and laboratory findings compatible with acute infection. In both cases the diagnosis of PSF was confirmed by barium esophagogram. Cervical ultrasonography and computed tomography were also performed. The treatment of choice consists of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy during acute exacerbation and subsequent fistulectomy. Definitive surgical treatment prevents recurrences.

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas del seno piriforme son anomalías infrecuentes de los arcos branquiales. La mayoría de los casos descritos están localizados en el lado izquierdo. Su existencia debe sospecharse ante la presencia de procesos inflamatorios cervicales (abscesos cervicales y tiroiditis supuradas). Se presentan 2 casos de tiroiditis aguda y absceso cervical secundarios a fístulas del seno piriforme atendidos en nuestro hospital en los últimos 2 años. Clínicamente se presentaron como tumoraciones cervicales con signos inflamatorios locales, asociadas a odinofagia y fiebre. La analítica mostró datos compatibles con infección aguda. El esofagograma con bario fue la técnica diagnóstica que confirmó la sospecha de fístulas del seno piriforme. En ambos casos se practicaron ecografía y tomografías cervicales. El tratamiento de elección consiste en antibioterapia de amplio espectro en la fase aguda y posterior fistulectomía. El tratamiento quirúrgico definitivo previene las posteriores recurrencias (AU)
