Thoracic wall metastases from nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a teenage boy: A case report
We report an extremely rare case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a 14-year old boy presenting with neck and chest wall metastasis.

Role of endoscopic guided partial adenoidectomy in avoiding open nasality
Conclusion There is necessity to screen potential candidates for adenoidectomy in order to prevent postoperative velopharyngeal dysfunction. Nasoendoscopy and lateral videofluroscopy have been useful to examine the palatal mobility, palatal length, depth of the pharynx and to exclude possible occult cleft palate. Partial adenoidectomy should be taken into consideration for risky patients. Satisfactory results were obtained as regards relieving nasal symptoms and maintaining velopharyngeal competence but didn’t improve quite fully the closed nasality.
