Twenty seven congenital cervical cysts were treated surgically in our clinic from January, 1980 to December, 1984.Thyroglossal cysts were found in 11 males and 3 females aged eight to 60 years. These cysts were painless; 78% were located behind the hyoid bone. We resected the hyoid bone if the cysts were adherent to it. This surgery can be performed under local anesthesia.Lateral cervical cysts were present in 5 males and 8 females aged 12 to 51 years. They were painless in 11 and painful in two cases. One patient had a cervical fistula. In 10 patients (77%) the cysts were type I or II (according to Bailey's classification, superficial group). They were treated generally under local anesthesia, but types III and IV (deep group) may require general anesthesia.Another case of congenital fistula originating from the apex of the left piriform sinus was reported.
