Abstract
Four cases of first branchial arch defects are presented. The literatu re relating to such defects is reviewed and a possible embyrogenic mec hanism is proposed with particular reference to the disposition of the facial nerve. The classification of these defects into Types I and II by Work (1972) is supported.
