edit

Pinna forms from 6 hillocks: 1-tragus, 2-helical root, 3=helix, 4=antihelix, 5=antitragus, 6=lobule

Middle Ear & External Auditory Canal

    • 1st branchial groove migrates inward forming EAC
    • 1st and 2nd pouch migrate to form ME (where they meet is TM)
    • Tympanic Membrane: squamous TM=ectoderm, fibrous=mesoderm, mucosal=endoderm

SECOND BRANCHIAL CLEFT CYST and sinus tract:

    • Lateral to IX and XII
    • Passes between ICA and ECA
    • Ends at medial constrictor or tonsillar fossa
    • MOST COMMON


THIRD BRANCHIAL CLEFT CYST and sinus tract:

    • Ascends Lateral to CCA
    • Passes posterior to ICA
    • Superior to XII and Inferior to IX
    • Courses medially to peirce lateral thyrohyoid membrane to open into pyriform sinus


Dysphagia Lusoria - Dysphagia from retroesophageal subclavian artery

    • Assoc with non-recurrent laryngeal 100%
    • From degeneration of Right 4th Arch


Parathyroid Development

    • Superior Parathyroid - 4th Arch development; Posterior to RLN & posterior in mediastinum
    • Inferior Parathyroid - 3rd Arch development; Anterior to RLN & Anterior in mediastinum
