경부 염증을 주 증상으로 하는 이상와 누공의 치료로써, 전통적으로 외과적 절제술이 주로 시행되었으나, 근래에 들어서는 수술 관련 위험성이 적은 삼염화아세트산 소작술이 선호되고 있다. 본원에서, 2004년 5월부터 2013년 3월까지 컷 다운 튜브를 이용한 삼염화아세트산 소작술을 통해 이상와 누공을 치료한 5명 환자의 증례를 보고한다. 이전까지의 삼염화아세트산 소작술에서, 여러 도구를 이용해 누공의 입구만을 막는 시도를 했던 것과는 달리, 본 증례에서는, 컷 다운 튜브를 이용해 20~50%의 삼염화아세트산을 누공로에 주입함으로써, 이상와 누공 전장을 폐쇄하고자 하였다. 3명의 환자에서는 추적 관찰 중 재발 소견 없었으며, 2명의 환자는 추적 관찰 기간 중 재발하여 삼염화아세트산 소작술을 재시행하였다. 모든 증례에서 부작용 및 합병증은 발생하지 않았다.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis is rare, infectious thyroid disorder because the thyroid gland is resistant to infection. We report a 26-year-old man with acute suppurative thyroiditis due to a pyriform sinus fistula. He presented with anterior neck swelling and tenderness for 2 weeks. Antibiotic treatment failed to improve his symptoms and signs. Diagnosis was made by bariums studies, computed tomography scan and endoscopic examination. The pyriform siuns fistula was successfully treated by chemical cauterization, partial thyroidectomy and ligation of fistula tract.

It is commonly believed that the branchial anomalies are remnants of the branchial apparatus. Third and fourth branchial pouch anomaly is an extremely rare disease involving the branchial apparatus. Virtually mostly reported cases have been on the left side and has been identified in recurrent suppurative thyroiditis, retropharyngeal abscess and repeated episodes of cellulitis, neck swelling, lateral neck fistula. Recently the authors have experienced a case of left piriform sinus fistula accompanied with left suppurative thyroiditis, presumably of fourth branchial origin in a 50-years old male patients, which was successfully treated with coagulation, and so report this case with summary of branchial anomaly by the some review of the literatures.
