Congenital midline cervical cleft represents a rare defect of the midline neck, which is sometimes wrongly diagnosed as a thyroglossal duct anomaly, dermoid cyst, branchial cleft anomaly or \u201cbirthmark\u201d. A prompt clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment during early infancy are essential to ensure both functional and aesthetic outcome. We report a case of a female neonate with a midline cervical cleft diagnosed immediately after birth. The main features of other congenital anomalies of the anterior neck are also discussed referring to their embryologic origin.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cga.12086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,22]],"date-time":"2014-08-22T06:15:41Z","timestamp":1408688141000},"page":"112-115","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Congenital midline cervical cleft: Clinical approach to a congenital anterior neck defect"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Beatrice Letizia","family":"Crippa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Francesca","family":"Bedeschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Genetics Unit Fondazione IRCCS Ca\u2019 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Cantarella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ear Nose Throat Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Colombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viola","family":"Agosti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilaria","family":"Amodeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Fumagalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabella","family":"Mazzola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ear Nose Throat Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Mosca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.1320580413"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2005.07.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-195007000-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1470.2000.01727.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"547","article-title":"Congenital midline cervical cleft.
