As long ago as 1843, Werntier described cystic hygroma as a new growtlh, but its cause is now generally accepted as due to maldevelopment of the lymphatic system. In the neck, according to Sabin (1912), this begins in mammals in the two jugular sacs on either side, near the junctions of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Small veins branch off the internal jugular vein, lose their conne...

However, these images are insufficient to differentiate between cystic hygroma, second branchial cleft cyst, or dermoid cysts [4]. USG can be used preoperatively to determine the characteristics of pediatric ranulas, and are a radiation-free and a rather inexpensive modality [2]. Plunging ranula diagnosis is complicated...
