Congenital midline sinus of the upper lip: Evaluating the use of ultrasonography

Skin Health Dis. 2022 Oct 1;3(1):e170. doi: 10.1002/ski2.170. eCollection 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Ultrasound is a minimally invasive examination method. Previous examinations have shown that the most common standard methods used to reveal the distal aspect of the congenital labial sinus, fistula probe or methylene blue dye, are highly invasive and ultrasound is less invasive. Of course, there are cases where CT is necessary, but CT carries the risk of radiation exposure.
