Abstract:
An Oro-facial fistula is a pathologic communication between the cutaneous surface of the face and the oral cavity which leads to esthetic problems due to the continual leakage of saliva from the oral cavity to the face. It is a well documented but uncommon condition, which is often initially misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. Early diagnosis with a proper history and investigations may spare the patients to provide appropriate treatment and esthetic care. This case series reports patients with cutaneous sinus tracts with various origins and the treatment done for the same.
