Bronchial cleft abnormalities are the results of defects in development in neck area of the embryo. They are uncommon clinical problems that can be difficult for diagnosis and treatment. A serie of 24 cases observed in the institute of ENT (1995 - 1999) with bronchial cleft fistula are debated. The primary symtom of 2nd bronchial cleft fistula is a congennital latero-cervical fistula, but the primary symtom of 3,4 grade bronchial fistula is a tumefaction located at the middle third of neck.
