<unk>  is a rare benign disorder caused by persistent notochord remnants. This disease almost remains asymptomatic. At about the 10th week of embryonic development, the pharyngeal pouch forms by adhesion of the pharyngeal ectoderm to the cranial end of the notochord. This become closed at the orifice or crusts adhere to the orifice without closing. The contact between these remnants and pharyngeal ectoderm leads to the growth of respiratory epithelium. This forms<unk> 's bursa which drains into the nasopharyngeal cavity. This only forms a cyst when the orifice is partially or completely obstructed by infection. A<unk> 's cyst progresses to<unk>  only after infection or inflammation occurs.
