Submental primary hydatid cyst: A rare differential diagnosis of midline neck swelling in childrenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report herein a child with a hydatid cyst that was primarily located in the submental region without any pulmonary or hepatic involvement. 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.

A frightening bronchial foreign bodyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report our experience, not previously reported in the literature, with a young male Jehovah Witness who aspirated a metal button backing into his right bronchus intermedius. 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 new method to solve an old problem: Extraction of a sharp foreign body from the lateral basal part of the bronchial tree of a childEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: This paper describes a novel method for the removal of a needle aspirated into the basal part of the right bronchial tree of a 14-year-old girl, where due to the distal location, earlier attempts at extraction had been unsuccessful.With careful advanced planning creative modelling, and the assistance of our medical engineer, a modified method was developed that allowed successful extraction in cooperation with the pulmonary physician, thereby obviating the need for a possible thoracotomy and lobectomy.

Endoscopic endonasal excision of congenital midline meningoencephalocele in a 5-month infantEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Congenital infantile midline nasal meningoencephaloceles are rare anomalies. 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 th...

Aplasia of the submandibular gland with compensatory sublingual gland hypertrophy: A case reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a 14-year-old boy presenting with submandibular mass. 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.

First branchial cleft cyst: A rare presentation with mesotympanic extensionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: A 2-year-old girl presented with a left middle ear cholesteatoma. 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.

Long wooden stick penetrating across the retromandibular, nasopharyngeal and contralateral orbital region in a childEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Penetrating wooden stick in the maxillocranial region is rarely reported in children. 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 an...

Migrating foreign body of the neck as a cause of recurrent febrile lymphadenopathyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: A 15-year-old girl was referred to our Pediatric Emergency Unit because of recurrent fever associated with a painful right laterocervical mass over the previous four months, which was unresponsive to various antimicrobial therapies. During surgery, performed to obtain a biopsy, an unexpected vegetable thin fibre, about 1.2cm long, was found among the laterocervical lymph nodes. 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.

Tufted angioma in the upper lip: A report of a caseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We described a case of a tufted angioma observed in a 12-year-old male from an indigenous Guarani community that was clinically diagnosed as an oral manifestation of primary syphilis. We discussed lesions to be considered as reasonable diagnostic possibilities and how the diagnosis was achieved. We concluded that in spite of being less frequent in the oral mucosa, tufted angioma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of oral proliferative lesions.

Nasal vestibular stenosis after birth trauma during caesarean sectionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The very initial management in terms of proper suturing of flaps and nasal stents or referral to a specialist following nasal trauma can avoid this type of deformity. We concluded that the management of vestibular stenosis is very difficult and the result of surgery is influenced by not only the surgical technique but also by cooperation of the patient and family members.

Septal abscess in a 14-month-old child: Diagnosis, management, and discussion of reconstructive optionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The foremost consideration in treatment of nasoseptal hematoma or abscess includes acute drainage and culture-directed antimicrobial medical management to avoid systemic complications. 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.

Objective tinnitus secondary to voluntary palatal myoclonusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Palatal myoclonus is a known entity causing objective tinnitus but is involuntary in most of the cases. 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.

Double opposing Z-plasty for congenital midline cervical web: A case reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Congenital midline cervical clefts (CMCCs), rare congenital anomalies of the cervical neck, are unaesthetic and can lead to secondary deformities of the mandible. 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 postsur...

Cholesterol granuloma of the maxillary sinus in a young patient with associated neurosurgical pathologyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: The cholesterol granuloma is a frequent exhibit in otomastoid inflammatory pathology. 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 endoscop...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presenting as aural and nasal myiasisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present one such rare case of full-blown Christ–Siemens–Touraine syndrome in a female patient who presented to us for the first time with nasal and aural myiasis. When associated with myiasis, these patients are more vulnerable for the complications of both aural cholesteatoma and atrophic rhinitis. Hence the otolaryngologist needs to consider this disorder in the differential diagnosis of simultaneous aural and nasal myiasis.

Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma in an adolescentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is an extremely rare benign tumour that was first described in 1998. 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.
