Unresolved airway obstruction in a child secondary to multiple pathologies
We report a case of a 5-year-old boy with unresolved airway obstruction since the age of 2weeks old. He presented with progressively worsening of stridor and dyspnea. Emergency tracheostomy was done at neonatal period. He was diagnosed with different airway pathologies at different occasions. Tracheomalacia and laryngomalacia were initially found at neonatal and infantile periods. At later age, a subglottic band was revealed and CO2 laser therapy was employed in treatment.

Unilateral vocal cord palsy: Finding the culprit
Publication date: Available online 27 December 2016 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Shiun Chuen Chew, Hazama Mohamad, Nik Fariza Husna Nik Hassan Unilateral vocal cord palsy after recent chicken pox or varicella zoster virus infection is indeed rare. Viral neuronitis is a self-limiting disease; with complete or partial recovery. However, any lesions, which could compress the laryngeal nerve along its course causing unilateral vocal cord palsy, should be excluded. Imaging studies; i.e. computed tomography (CT) scan should be done to address this problem. CT scans enable us to...

Computed tomography anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and anatomical variants of clinical relevants in Nigerian adults
Conclusion Computed tomography is the gold standard in the radiologic investigation of the paranasal sinuses, either for diagnosis for sinonasal lesions or pre and post-surgical assessment. Its capability in delineating the anatomical variants in paranasal sinuses protects against iatrogenic injury to essential structures around the paranasal sinuses and recurrent diseases from extramural cells.
