Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 100 children who were referred to Shanghai Children's Hospital from March 2014 to March 2022 for the treatment of CFBCAs. Results This study included 100 patients (33 males, 67 females) with an average age of 4.0 ± 2.7 years. 64 cases were type I FBCAs and 36 were type II. The main clinical manifestations included having a skin pit or discharge from it (62%), painless masses (5%), mucopurulent otorrhea (8%) and recurrent swelling with pain (90%) in the Pochet's triangle area. 92% had infection histories, 84% had incision and drainage histories, and 18% had surgical histories. 6 cases of tympanic membranous attachment were found by auricular endoscopy. Ultrasonography (US) was 55.6% (30/54) accurate and enhanced CT was 75% (75/100) accurate in diagnosing CFBCAs. We dissected the facial nerve (FN) in 46% cases. Lesions ended in the external auditory canal (EAC) wall in 86 cases. 69 exhibited close relationship with the parotid. The patients were followed up 0.25-8.2 years. 11 had postoperative temporary
