Owing to its rarity in neonates, the diagnosis and treatment of PSC remains complicated and not clearly described. Complete removal of the fistula and the cyst with or without affected thyroid tissue was previously the most commonly used treatment. From our experience, we believe that endoscopic electrocauterization can be the first choice not only for PSF but also for neonatal PSC. In conclusion, endoscopic electrocauterization is feasible even for neonatal PSC. Further investigations including multicenter analyses are needed.
