The Branchial apparatus has been well described and held accountable for many congenital anomalies of the
head and neck region. A congenital fistula is not as commonly encountered as a cyst or sinus, and a complete
congenital fistula from the third branchial apparatus is a rare occurrence. According to the branchial apparatus theory,
the course of a branchial fistula is derived from its embryological origin. Here, we report a case of a complete branchial
fistula of the right side and a branchial sinus on the left side, which is a rare occurrence.
