Zusammenfassung:Midline cervical cleft is a very rare congenital anomaly. According to a literature search, until 2014 only 205 cases were reported. We present a classic case of congenital midline cervical cleft. This was a case of a 3-year-old Middle Eastern boy. The lesion was excised and the defect was closed via multiple Z-plasties. Midline cervical cleft, although a rarity, when presented needs surgical treatment, which comprises surgical excision and closure that lessens the possibility of scar visibility and contracture.
