Contact sports such as lacrosse are popular with pediatric and teenage children. Laryngeal injury can be a life-threatening injury due to airway compromise, and prompt emergency medical treatment can be life saving. This case report details a patient's presentation, clinical exam, radiology and endoscopic findings, treatment including securing the airway and fracture repair, and outcome. The risk of mortality or severe morbidity warrants a high index of suspicion is given for children and teenagers with blunt neck trauma during contact sports such as lacrosse.

A 2-year-old boy fell from a tree with a long wooden stick penetrating in the retromandibular region in an accident was sent to the hospital. An emergent operation was performed after CT scan and the wooden stick foreign body was successfully removed. The CT morphology, complications, and management in such cases are briefly discussed. This case is noteworthy because the patient was so lucky that the stick did not penetrate intracranially and he recovered without any complication including function of nose, eye and mastication and it is the first case of one of the smallest kids in literature. Nasal endoscope employed to re-examine the wounds for possible remains of foreign body is recommended in...

A CT scan showed a mass in the left middle ear starting from the mesotympanum extending through a bony canal defect into the parapharyngeal space, deep to the facial nerve and ending in the submandibular region. The patient underwent surgical excision of the first branchial cleft cyst by superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection and mastoidectomy with middle ear exploration. This case illustrates a rare presentation of a first branchial cleft cyst with histologic and anatomical features of both types of Work's classification of brachial cleft anomalies.

He was later diagnosed as having aplasia of the submandibular gland and a compensatory ipsilateral sublingual hypertrophy. The diagnosis was made by imaging (CT-scan and MR). The case is presented with the emphasis that aplasia of the submandibular gland followed by a presumably compensatory sublingual gland enlargement is a rare phenomenon but still should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a neck mass.

A 5-month-old Egyptian boy otherwise healthy presented with history of respiratory distress, difficulty in oral feeding and appearance of a mass in right nostril. The CT scan showed soft tissue density lesion filling the right nasal fossa with small bony defect in the most anterior part of anterior cranial fossa adjacent to right side of the crista galli suggesting meningoencephalocele. MRI showed the same mass criteria as on CT with fluid signal intensity. The lesion was approached and removed endonasally under general anesthesia with the use of different angles endoscopes. The mucoperiostium covering the posterior two third of the ipsilateral inferior nasal turbinate was harvested and used for repair of...

While in the operating room, a size 5, 30cm Storz rigid ventilating bronchoscope with a 0 degrees rod lens telescope was passed through the larynx to visualize the bronchus intermedius. Then, using the “duckbill” telescopic alligator forceps, the sharp edges of the foreign body were grasped and removed. The patient recovered well and was discharged home hours after without any complications.

A hydatid cyst of the neck should be considered as a possible diagnosis while evaluating any slow growing cyst in the cervical region especially in a patient living in endemic areas so as to keep surgical precautions in mind while operating to avoid any dangerous complications such as contamination and a fatal anaphylactic reaction.

The patient subsequently experienced complete clinical remission and told us that about one month before the development of symptoms she had felt a punctory sensation in the floor of her mouth after she had been playing with a blade of grass between her lips.

The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of knowing that certain palatal myoclonus can be voluntary especially in children. The tinnitus disappeared after the contraction of palatal musculature was under controlled by the patient. It is important to identify voluntary palatal myoclonus since it can be successfully treated.

Affected children may require nasal reconstruction, preferably after the 4th year of life. Conscientious surgeons must have an awareness of nasal function, nasofacial development, potential graft donor sites, and subsequent psychological impact of delayed treatment. Our preference is the open approach with the use of autologous costal cartilage for structural reconstruction.

Repair usually involves excision of the lesion followed by primary closure, W-plasty, or Z-plasty. We repaired a CMCC in a 4-year-old girl using double opposing Z-plasty of the subcutaneous tissues and platysma to increase the vertical length of the skin and form a deeper cervicomental angle. The surgery substantially improved appearance and function, producing a sharper cervicomental angle and reduction in cleft chin. Scarring was minimized with postsurgical treatments. However, because of the patient's age, an open-bite deformity remained. Therefore, we recommend surgical correction for CMCC in the first year of life. ...

The evidence of such in the nasal-sinus region is rarely described in the literature. The diagnosis is usually difficult because the clinical, endoscopic and radiological findings are non-specific. In our study we are describing a case of cholesterol granuloma of the maxillary sinus found in a 16-year-old who presented an endoscopic exhibit suggesting antrochoanal polyp. The CT scan also showed an arachnoid cyst that caused frequent epileptic episodes in the patient. The neoformation was therefore extracted via endonasal endoscopy including the base of implantation.

It has been considered to be a disease of infancy. Here we report a case of NCMH in a 12-year-old boy who presented with a tumour in the left nasal cavity. Computed tomography and magnetic-resonance imaging revealed a heterogeneous and polypoid mass. The patient underwent endoscopic surgical excision. Histological analyses of the tumour were consistent with NCMH. This case report indicates that NCMH should be included in the differential diagnosis of paediatric nasal cavity lesions.
